When It Rains Down Here by J.D. Vernon
When It Rains Down Here
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: D
[Intro]
D G D
[Verse 1]
D G D
The hills speaking softly to brag
G D
The rain is so quiet it's sad
Bm G D A
In liberty it rains so loud we can't hear
Bm G E D
It's so hard to see outside when it rains down here
[Verse 2]
D
The arches hold together St. Louis
G D
And the mighty Mississippi splits right through us
Bm G D A
Before my arches rebuild, they must have a song
Bm Em7 A D A D
But I can't proceed until the rain is gone
[Verse 3]
G D
Blue grey background on those moss green pines
G D
Heavy grown raindrops clinging to the electrical lines
Bm G D A
Floating in an atmosphere of truth and hidden lies
Bm G A D
Sometimes out here, I feel like my heroes can save my life
[Verse 4]
G D
Through the window of this rickety rail car
G D
And I see the world scene by scene
Bm D A
The silver mountains and blue streams
Bm G A D
I will only ever smell the train steam
[String Interlude]
D G D Bm G D A Bm G A D
[Verse 5]
D
We hear Louis Armstrong play his horn on the shortwave radio
G D
His sound breaks my heart with a stone in my throat
Bm G D A Bm G D A
Like a sword through a heart, leaking tears onto the ground
Bm G A D
So hard to see when it rains down here
[Verse 6]
G D
Alone, is where I've been needing to be
G D
So I, just been sailing the seas
Bm G D A
The wind can blow me wherever it needs to take me
Bm G D A
The skipper taunts the sky
Bm G D A
Thunder and waves crashing into the side
Bm G A D
It will never break him, it will never save him
