"Exit 0" (1987) [Intro] 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
