She Was Only In It For The Rain by Rocky Votolato
She Was Only In It For The Rain
NOTE: This song has a really fun moving bass line which I write out using the
actual chord notation ( e: E/Am). When you see this type of notation you insert
the note on the left of the slash (in this case 'E') into the lowest position of
the chord indicated to the right of the slash (in this case Am).
Standard Tuning - - - Capo 2
Intro: Am l E/Am l C/Am G/Am l: (2x)
Am E/Am C/Am G/Am

She swore out the lights when she dammed herself to sleep
Dm Am E/Am C/Am G/Am
Her thirteenth finger my whiskey drink
Am E/Am C/Am G/Am

Come circumference, come circumstance
