                     G
Oh, I wish it would rain

      G     Cadd9  G
and wash my face clean.
I want to find some dark clouds
           D
to hide in me here.

Cadd9         G
Oh, love in a memory

    G         Cadd9 G
sparkles like dia - monds.

                  G     D              Em   Cadd9
When the diamonds fall, they burn like te - ars.

                  G     D                G
When the diamonds fall, they burn like a tear.
[Verse 1]
G                          Cadd9   G
Once I had a love from the Georgia pines

     D             Em
who only cared for me.

       Cadd9            G
Gonna find that love of twenty-two

               D
here at thirty-three.

         G                    Cadd9      G
I got a heart on my right and one on my left

     D                Em
but neither suits my needs,

           Cadd9          G
'Cause the one I love is way out west

    D                  G
and he never will need me.
[Chorus 2]
N.C.                 G
Oh, I wish it would rain

      G     Cadd9  G
and wash my face clean.
I want to find some dark clouds
           D
to hide in me here.

Cadd9         G
Oh, love in a memory

    G         Cadd9 G
sparkles like dia - monds.

                  G     D              Em   Cadd9
When the diamonds fall, they burn like te - ars.

                  G     D                G
When the diamonds fall, they burn like a tear.
[Verse 2]
G                      Cadd9        G
I'm gonna pack up my two-steppin' shoes

     D                        Em
and head for the Gulf Coast plains.

          Cadd9                  G
I want to walk the streets of my own hometown

                         D
Where everybody knows my name.

G                              Cadd9 G
I wanna ride the waves down in Galveston

         D               Em
When the hurricanes blow in,

             Cadd9                   G
'Cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine

          D                           G
when your heart's rollin' home in the wind.
[Chorus 3]
N.C.                 G
Oh, I wish it would rain

      G     Cadd9  G
and wash my face clean.
I want to find some dark clouds
           D
to hide in me here.

Cadd9         G
Oh, love in a memory

    G         Cadd9 G
sparkles like dia - monds.

                  G     D              Em   Cadd9
When the diamonds fall, they burn like te - ars.

                  G     D              Em   Cadd9
When the diamonds fall, they burn like te - ars.

                    G   D              G
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears.
