[Verse 1]
[Em]When[G][Em][G][Em][G]
[Em]it r[C]ains[G] five days
and the [C]skies turn dark [G]at night[Em]
[G]When it [C]rains five days
and the skies turn dark at
[Em]night[Edim][Bbdim]
[C]And trouble [A]taking [Em]place
[D]in the lowlan[C]ds at [G]nig[C]ht[G]
I woke up this morning,
[C]couldn't even get out
of [G]my door[C][G]
[C]Woke up this mornin',
couldn't even get out of
[G]my throat[D][G]
[Em]There's [C]been so muc[D]h trouble,
make a [C]poor gal [G]wonder [D]where to [G]go[C]
[G]Then they rowed a little boat
about five [C]miles across [D]the [G]pond.
They [C]rowed a boat
about five across the [G]pond.[Em]
[Bbdim]I packed [C]my things,
[D]throwed them in,
and [C]they rode [G]me [C]along.[G]
[C]Now it thun[G]ders and lightens,
and the [C]wind began [G]to blow.[D]
[G]Say, it thun[C]ders and lightning
and the wind began to blow
[G]There [Em]are thousands of p[C]eople
[D]Ain't got [C]no [G]place [C]to go[G][Em]
[G]Then I went in nex[Em]t to[G] it
[Em]On a[Edim] high old lo[C]nesome hi[G]ll[C][Em]
[G]Then I wen[C]t in next to it
On a high old lonesome [Em]hill
And I look [D]down on the house
where [C]I used t[D]o live
