Bb                                                               F
All day mountains rose behind a veil of smoke from burning fields

Bb                                                          F       Dm    F
And road dust dyeing black skin bronze and the road rolling like a rough sea

C                                                  Dm          Bb
It's quiet now, just crickets and a dog fight somewhere in the far away

F
In my heart I hold your photograph

Gm                                                   F
And the thought of you comes on like the feel of the coming rains

Bb                                                                   F
Hot breeze ran its fingers through the long grass of a thatched roof eave

Bb
They stuck me in the only chair they had while they cooked cassava

               F
And a luckless hen

C                                                        Dm
They asked for one well three lanterns and 200 litres of fuel and

         Bb
I said, "Who, me?"

F
And the time for planting's coming soon

Gm                                                   F
And the thought of you comes on like the feel of the coming rains
[Instrumental] Bb F Bb F C Dm Bb F Gm F Dm F
C
In the town neon flickers in the ruins

F     Gb     Db                      F
Seven crows swoop past the luscious moon

Dm                                      F
If I had wings like those there'd be no waiting

Bm                                            D     Eb        F
I'd come panting to your door and slide like smoke into your room

Bb                                                              F
All day the mountains rose behind a veil of smoke from burning fields

Bb                                                                 F
And road dust dyeing black skin bronze and the road rolling like a rough sea

C                                                       Dm          Bb
It's quiet now, just crickets and a dog fight somewhere in the far away

F
In my heart I hold your photograph

Gm                                                   F
And the thought of you comes on like the feel of the coming rains

F
And the time for planting's coming soon

Gm                                                   F
And the thought of you comes on like the feel of the coming rains
