Chords

******************************************* The following is a simplified Intro, Outro and Breaks/Instrumentals that can be used in place of the Intro and Breaks that Billy and his band use. Note, that in Bluegrass, Instrumentals are commonly called Breaks. Also note that each letter represents one Boom Chuck with there being 4 Boom Chucks per measure. FYI, sometime I play the song by replacing the G chord with G7. Sometimes I think it sounds better this way. [Simplified Intro, Outro, Breaks/Instrumentals] C C C C F F F F C C G G

[Intro] C C C C [Verse 1]
     C                                 C
It's rainin’ rainin’ rainin’ here this mornin’

     C                               G
As I sit in jail and hang my head in shame

     C                            F
Each day I try to greet the early dawnin’

            C          G             C
But they've given me a number for my name
[Chorus]
F                           C
Pretty little raindrops are falling close to me

      F                          C            G
Makes all the streams and rivers muddy as can be

     C                                 C
It's rainin’ rainin’ rainin’ here this mornin’

       C           G               C
As the Mississippi flows on to the sea
[Banjo Break] 26-34 C C C C C C C C C C C C G G G G C C C C C C C C C C G G C C C C C C C C [Verse 2]
   C                                C
Oh how I wish I could see my little darlin’

    C                      G
And hold her in my arms as before

  C                            F
I used to tell her every day I loved her

    C               G          C     C7
But now she doesn't love me anymore
[Verse 3]
    F                              C
She knew that I was guilty of this one crime

    C                               G
And said she'd be waiting there for me

    C                                   C
But now she has found somewhere else to wander

          C           G               C
Where the Mississippi flows on to the sea
[Chorus]
F                              C
Ah pretty little raindrops are falling close to me

      F                          C            G
Makes all the streams and rivers muddy as can be

     C                                 C
It's rainin’ rainin’ rainin’ here this mornin’

       C           G               C
As the Mississippi flows on to the sea

      F                                  C            G
Makes all the streams and rivers just as muddy as can be

     C                                 C
It's rainin’ rainin’ rainin’ here this mornin’

       C           G               C
As the Mississippi flows on to the sea
