C G7 C F C
Seven lonely days, and a dozen towns ago, I reached out one
F C C7 F G7
night and you were gone, I don't know why you'd run, what
C Am D7
you're running to or from, all I know is I want to bring you
G7
home.
C G7 C F
So I'm walking in the rain, thumbing for a ride, on this
C F C C7 F G7
lonely Kentucky back road, I've loved you much too long,
C Am D7
my loves too strong, to let you go never knowing what went
G7
wrong.
(Chorus)
D C BEm
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down, and up aheads another
Am G7 F Em F C C
town that I'll go walking through, with the rain in
Em Am F G7
my shoes, searching for you, in the cold Kentucky
C EF G7 C
rain, in the cold Kentucky rain.
C G7 C F
Showed your photograph, to some old gray bearded men, sitting
C F C C7 F
on a bench outside a general store, they said yes, she's
G7 C Am D7
been here, but their memory wasn't clear, was it yesterday,
G7
no wait, the day before.
C G7 C F
Finally got a ride, with a preacher man who asked where you
C F C C7 F
bound for on such a cold dark afternoon, as we drove on
G7 C Am D7
through the rain, as he listened, I explained, and he left me
G7
with a prayer that I'd find you.
Chorus
