Southern Rain Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]The flies have quit their [F]buzzing
Even [C]Bear has stopped his barking
[D]They all sense something brewing
Up [C]the James and [D]headed
this way
[G]

[Verse 2]
[F][C]
Bobby [G]sips his morn[F]ing coffee
Says [G]'Have you [C]finished
with the funnies?
Looks [D]like a storm's coming honey
Guess we'll [C]have to stay
in [D]bed [G]today'

[Verse 3]
I've [C]heard that into every life
[G]A little of it must fal[C]l
If there's [Em]any truth t[C]o the sayi[D]ng,
Lord, let it be a [C]southern rain
[G]

[Verse 4]
Marie was born in Macon, Georgia
She [C]met a west coast lawyer
He [D]plucked that sweet magnolia
And car[C]ried her to the hill[D]s of West L.A.
[G]

[Verse 5]
She says 'I never thought
I'd tire of a dollar
But this [C]life has grown so hollow
Every [D]night there's lipstick on his collar
And every [C]morning I [D]wash [G]it away'

[Verse 6]
She [C]heard that into every life
[G]A little of it must fal[C]l
So she [Em]spends her evenings pray[D]ing
For a little of that [C]southern rain
[G][F]

[Verse 7]
Cars alive [Em]on city s[D]treets
Of sparkling black [G]water
Like [Em]waves beneath my window
Never [Am]break just [D]roll away
To[C]night, this rain will [D]be my lul[Em]laby[Am]
[C]These cars, my dreams
[D]To carry me home to stay

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G]
[C][D]
[C][D][G][C][D]
[C][D][G][F][G][F][C]
[G]

[Verse 8]
The [G]wipers beat [C]a r[F]hythm
[C]Truck spray obscures my vision
But I'm [D]closing in on my destination
Two more [C]hours and [D]I'll be
at your door
[G]

[Verse 9]
[F]
[G]And it will never cease to amaze me
How a little [C]rain can drive folks crazy
When I'd trade [D]all my blue skies gladly
For your [C]blue [D]eyes, crooked smile
And a steady downpour
[G]

[Verse 10]
[G]I've hea[C]rd that into every life
[G]A little of it must fal[C]l,
But you'll [D]never catch
me com[Em]plaining
About [C]too much of that [D]southern rain

[Outro 1]
[D][G]
