G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D
[Verse]
G Cadd9 G The old man loaded up everything that he owned Cadd9 G D On a wagon and headed out west G Cadd9 G The old woman fearlessly faced the unknown Cadd9 G D 'Cause she figured he knew what's best Cadd9 G And they settled down hard on a government grant Cadd9 G D With six mouths to feed and forty acres to plant
[Chorus]
Em Em7 Cadd9 D And the rain came down Cadd9 G Like an angel come down from above Em Em7 Cadd9 D And the rain came down Cadd9 D It'll wash you away and there ain't never enough
[Verse]
G Cadd9 G Fall turned to winter another year gone Cadd9 D Over and over again G Cadd9 G Some took their lives from their land and moved on Cadd9 G D And some stayed on to plow it back in Cadd9 G And the good Lord he giveth and he taketh away Cadd9 G D And the restless shall go and the faithful shall stay
[Chorus]
Em Em7 Cadd9 D And the rain came down Cadd9 G Like an angel come down from above Em Em7 Cadd9 D And the rain came down Cadd9 D It'll wash you away and there ain't never enough

[Bridge]
D Now my grandaddy died in the room he was born in Cadd9 G Twenty-three summers ago D But I could have sworn he was beside me this morning Cadd9 G When the sheriff showed up at my door
[Verse]
Cadd9 G So don't you come around here with your auctioneer man Cadd9 G D 'Cause you can have the machines but you ain't taking my land
[Chorus]
Em Em7 Cadd9 D And the rain came down Cadd9 G Like an angel come down from above Em Em7 Cadd9 D And the rain came down Cadd9 D It'll wash you away and there ain't never enough
