Never Gonna Rain

Tom: A

A7



[Verse 1]
A7
I think I saw a cloud, yesterday.
A7
Hung around a minute, then it just blew away.
D                      A7
It's another identical, dusty day.
G                                   E7
Only thing not tellin' a lie is the wind.
D                    E7 (Palm Mute)    A7
I don't believe it's ever gonna rain again.

A7
All sides fell in a dry spell.
A7
Don't look to the sky,
A7
It's got nothin' to tell.
D
But there are, cracks in the ground,
A7
That run straight to hell.
G                          E7
Mebbe we're payin' for our sins.
D                    E7 (Palm Mute)   A7
I don't believe it's ever gonna rain again.


[Chorus]
D7       D               A
Bone dry rocks where the water used to flow,
D
Remember how fast it ran and how,
A
High it would go.
A        D7
Now that creek bed's as empty,
     G
As a dead man's clothes.
D
Waitin' for the wake to begin.
E (Palm Mute)


[Verse 2]
A
Old gambler crow sittin' on a fence line.
           A7                        A
Lookin' at me, like he could read my mind.
        D
He says: 'This country's gonnna pick ya clean,
A         G                           E7
Every time. Leave you twistin' in the wind.
D                    E7 (Palm Mute)    A7
I don't believe it's ever gonna rain again.'


[Chorus]
D7       D               A
Bone dry rocks where the water used to flow,
D
Remember how fast it ran and how,
A
High it would go.
A        D7
Now that creek bed's as empty,
     G
As a dead man's clothes.
D
Waitin' for the wake to begin.
E (Palm Mute)


[Outro]
A
I think I saw a cloud, yesterday.
A7
Hung around a minute, then it just blew away.
D                      A7
It's another identical, dusty day.
G                                   E
Only thing not tellin' a lie is the wind.
D                    E7 (Palm Mute)    A7
I don't believe it's ever gonna rain again.
G                         E
We're all twistin' in the wind. I,
D                    E (Palm Mute)   A
I don't believe it's ever gonna rain again.
