      D                              A
I was helping build a great big new motel

    D
It rained so much I couldn't make the

payments

  E                               A

But it rained so much I moved along

A
again

    G                                      A
It never seemed to rain when you were with me

   E                              A
Or I just didn't notice rain back then

    D                               G
Oh, it rained in every town except Paducah

    D                     A                                                               
In a way it reminds me of you

    D
It rained in every town except
