[intro: ]  |Fmaj7  |Cmaj7  |Fmaj7  |Gsus4 |

[verse: 1]
   C          F           C          F  
Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago 
     C              F                 C     C7
I reached out one night and you were gone
                                         /     /      /
  F                   G                  C    Em     Am
Don't know why you'd run, what you're running to or from, 
D7         |D7                   |G    |Gsus4 G |
all I know is I want to bring you home

[verse: 2]
         C              F       C            F 
So I'm walking in the rain, thumbing for a ride on this 
  C        F       C       C7
lonely Kentucky backroad
                                      /     /      /
      F                  G            C    Em     Am
I've loved you much too long and my love's too strong 
    D7        |D7                     |G7     |Fmaj7  |
to let you go, never knowing what went wrong

[chorus:]                    //  //   /
  D                         |C   G | Em                    
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down 
                         /   /    /    / 
                      | Am   G    F   Em |  
and up ahead's another town that I'll go   
                                                                
|Fmaj7       |{let ring}   |Cmaj7           |Cmaj7    {let ring} |
walking thru       with the rain in my shoes (rain in my shoes)
  1  2   1  2      3   4      
|       |Am        G   F |F    |G7
        searching for you 
                      C    Em   F 
in the cold Kentucky rain 
                     1 2 3 4  |1 2 3 4| 1 2 3 4        
        G7          |Cmaj7    |Fmaj7  |Gsus  | 
in the cold Kentucky rain

[verse: 3]
  C              F              C                F
Showed your photograph to some old gray bearded men 
   C            F                      C     C7
sitting on a bench outside a general store
                                             /      /       /
           F               G                 C     Em      Am
They said "Yes, she's been here" but their memory wasn't clear 
          D7         |D7          |G7      |G7  |
was it yesterday, no, wait the day before

[verse: 4]
        C          F            C               F
So I finaly got a ride with a preacher man who asked
            C                F           C        C7
"Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon?"
                                      /      /    /    
        F                G            C     Em   Am
As we drove on thru the rain as he listened I explained
        D7            |D7                 |G7    |Fmaj7   |
and he left me with a prayer that I'd find you

[chorus:]                    //  //   /
  D                         |C   G | Em                    
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down 
                         /   /    /    / 
                      | Am   G    F   Em |  
and up ahead's another town that I'll go   
                                                                
|Fmaj7       |{let ring}   |Cmaj7           |Cmaj7    {let ring} |
