G5                                                   C5 D5 
The old man loaded up everything that he owned in a wagon and headed out west 
G5 C5                        D5 
The old woman fearless to face the unkown cause she figured he knew what was best 
 C5                               G5 C5                         D5 
And they settled down hard on a government grant, with 6 mouths to feed and 40 
 
        acres to plant 
 
 CHORUS.................................................................................. 
D5                 E5   G5 
And the rain came down 
C5                            D5 
Like an angel sent down from above 
                  E5   G5 
And the Rain came down 
C5                              D5 
Well once it starts there aint never enough

VERSE 2 
G5                                     C5              D5 
Fall turn to Winter another year gone over and over again 
G5 C5                              D5 
Some took their lives from the land and moved on some stayed on to plow it back in 
C5                                  G5 
And the Good Lord He giveth and He taketh away 
    C5                             D5 
And the restless shall go and the faithfull shall stay

Well my grandfather died in the room he was born in 23 summers ago 
D5 C5                           G5      
But I could've sworn he's beside me this mornin' when the sheriff showed up at my door 
C5                                       G5 
So don't you come around here with your auctioneer man 
              C5                               D5 
Cause you can have the machines but you aint taken my land
