Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago

  C               G7/B               C   C7/E
I reached out one night and you were gone

F                    G/B              C             Am
Don't know why you'd run, what you're running to or from

So I'm walking in the rain,  thumbin' for a ride

        C    G7/B       C      C7/E
On this lonely Kentucky backroad

     F                  G/B   C              Am
I've loved you much too long;  my love's too strong

D7           D7/A      D7      D7        G       Fmaj7   Fmaj7 
  To let you go, never knowing what went wrong.  3/4     5/4
[Chorus 1]
D        D/A                C  G/B
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down

Em      Em/B            Am   G    F    Em Fmaj7            Fmaj7 
 And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through  4/4

         Cmaj7             Am
With the rain in my shoes (rain in my shoes)

Am  Am    G     F     G
Searching for   you----

       G/B            C       Em     F
In the cold Kentucky rai-y-ai-ai-ai-ain,

       G              C     Cmaj7   Fmaj7   Fmaj7   Fmaj7   Fmaj7   G

[Verse 3]
C                 G7/B         C                G7
Showed your photograph to some old gray bearded men

        C             G7/B           C    C7/E
Sitting on a bench outside a general store

           F               G/B             C             Am
They said "Yes, she's been here" But their memory wasn't clear.

       D7       D7/A     D7       D7     G    G/B   G/D   G 
Was it yesterday?    No, wait the day before  4/4   4/4  4/4
[Verse 4]
C             G7/B         C                G7
Finally got a ride, with a preacher man who asked,

           C               G7/B            C     C7/E
"Where you bound on such a cold, dark afternoon?"

      F                    G/B         C             Am
As we drove on through the rain, as he listened I explained

    D7        D7/A      D7          D7       G    Fmaj7   Fmaj7 
And he left me   with a prayer that I'd find you  3/4     5/4
[Chorus 2]
D        D/A                C  G/B
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down

Em      Em/B            Am   G    F    Em Fmaj7            Fmaj7 
 And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through  4/4

         Cmaj7             Am
With the rain in my shoes (rain in my shoes)

Am  Am    G     F     G
Searching for   you----

In the cold Kentucky rain
