As recorded by Kate Wolf (From the 1981 Album CLOSE TO YOU) [Intro] G C G C [Verse 1]
G
Chopping wood in the rain

C                     G
The axe swings up and falls again

C                   Am              D  C Bm7 D7
I watch you move so smoothly in the dance

G
Listening to the hollow sound

C                         G
Of splitting logs as they hit the ground

Am                   D                G
I'd build a fire for you if I had the chance
[Chorus]
        C                     G
Let the chips fall where they can

Bm                    D#
I've tried my best to understand

       G                     Em
Why we stand out here in the rain

       Bm7           C    Bm7
In our anger and our pain

Am7                D
Afraid to feel the love

              G      C
That's in our hands
[Verse 2]
G
Love that was so strong

C                         G
Stopped you short when it came along

C                  Am           D  C  Bm7 D7
Sometimes I wonder why you ever stayed

G
'Cause when you turn away

C                       G
And save yourself for a rainy day,

Am7                 D                 G
Love grows weak and then it starts to fade
[Chorus]
        C                     G
Let the chips fall where they can

Bm                    D#
I've tried my best to understand

       G                     Em
Why we stand out here in the rain

       Bm7           Cmaj7  Bm7
In our anger and our pain

Am7                D
Afraid to feel the love

              G      C
That's in our hands
[Guitar Solo] G C G C Am D C D [Pedal Steel Solo] G C G Am7 D7 G [Verse 3]
G
In winter's wet and cold

C                      G
Some people change and some just grow old

C              Am                    D C Bm7 D7
The years go by in spite of what you do

G
I'd like to lay you down

C                     G
And turn your twisted head around

Am7                      D                  G
But babe, there's really nothing that I can do
[Chorus]
        C                     G
Let the chips fall where they can

Bm                    D#
I've tried my best to understand

       G                     Em
Why we stand out here in the rain

       Bm7           C    Bm7
In our anger and our pain

Am7                D
Afraid to feel the love

              G
That's in our hands
[Outro] Em Am7 D G
