Hands Like Rain by James McMurtry
Hands Like Rain
[Intro]
A D A G
[Verse]
Dm D
Slowly crawling 'cross the floor
Bm
Comes a shadow through the window
A D
From the house next door and the dust specks dancing
Bm D A
In the last of the light one more evening passing
Dbm D
She walked on tiptoes on a gravel bar
Bm A
Wet skin pale as the evening star
D A Bm
The North Platte winding like a silver eel
G D
Hands like rain on August fields
[Chorus]
D A Bm G D A
Hands like rain falling soft to ease the drought inside
G D A Bm G D G D
As memory fades not much remains but hands like rain
[Verse]
Bm D G D
Now I stand on stiff legs and I clutch the cane
Bm A
And I search the sky for a sign of rain
D A Bm D
As if it matters as if it makes a damn
A
just an old man's habit
D G D
Down the street the schoolboys play
Bm A
Dime novel heroes from another day
G D
Who now are nothing more than faceless names
G D A
And a nameless face with hands like rain
[Chorus]
D A Bm G D A
Hands like rain falling soft to ease the drought inside
G D A Bm G D G D
As memory fades not much remains but hands like rain
Db D G D Bm
We'd run by night and we'd hide by day
A
so the papers used to say
D A G D A
On stolen horses and borrowed time dancing girls and brandy wine
[Bridge]
A
I can hear them calling they're calling me
D A
I can here them calling but I still can't see (no I can’t see it)
[Chorus]
D A Bm G D A
Hands like rain falling soft to ease the drought inside
G D A Bm G D G D
As memory fades not much remains but hands like rain
[Bridge]
A G D G D
Life and legend are an awkward pair
Bm Em A
And there ain't much magic anywhere
D G
Except in moments we can't often steal
D A D
Hands like rain on August fields
[Chorus] x2
D A Bm G D A
Hands like rain falling soft to ease the drought inside
G D A Bm G D G D
As memory fades not much remains but hands like rain
