Tom: F
C F C F C
[Verse 1]
F C
Parched crops dying 'neath a dead sun
F C
We've been praying but no good comes
F C
The dog's howling, home's stripped bare
F C F C
We've been worried but now we're scared
[Verse 2]
F C
People come for comfort or just to come
F C
Taste the dark sticky potion or hear the drums
F C
Hands raised to Yahweh to bring the rain down
F
He comes crawlin' 'cross the dry fields like a dark shroud
[Chorus]
F
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
F
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
F
Rainmaker, take evеrything you have
F Bb Bbsus4
Sometimes folks need to bеlieve in something so bad, so bad, so bad
F F
They'll hire a rainmaker (rainmaker)
[Verse 3]
F C
Rainmaker says white's black and black's white
F C
Says night's day and day's night
F C
Says close your eyes and go to sleep now
F
I'm in a burnin' field unloadin' buckshot into low clouds
[Chorus]
F
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
F
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
F
Rainmaker, take evеrything you have
F Bb Bbsus4
Sometimes folks need to bеlieve in something so bad, so bad, so bad
F F
They'll hire a rainmaker (rainmaker)
[Bridge]
Bb Bbsus4
Slow moving wagon drawing through a dry town
F
Painted rainbow, crescent moon and dark clouds
Bb Bbsus4
Brother patriot come forth and lay it down
F F
Your blood brother for king and crown for your rainmaker
[Instrumental]
F C
[Verse 4]
F C
They come for the smile, the firm handshake
F C
They come for the raw chance of a fair shake
F C
Some come to make damn sure, my friend
F C
This mean season's got nothin' to do with them
F C
They come 'cause they can't stand the pain
F C
Of another long hot day of no rain
F C
'Cause they don't care or understand
F Bb
What it really takes for the sky to open up the land
[Chorus]
F
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
F
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
F
Rainmaker, take evеrything you have
F Bb Bbsus4
Sometimes folks need to bеlieve in something so bad, so bad, so bad
F
They'll hire a rainmaker
F
Rainmaker
F
Rainmaker
F
Rainmaker
