I Wish It Would Rain - Nanci Griffith
[C] Oh, I wish it would [G] rain, wash my [C] face [G] clean
I wanna find some dark clouds to hide in [D7^2] here
Love and [G] memory, it sparkles like [C] dia[G] monds
When the [C] diamonds [G] fall, they burn like [Em] tears
[C] When the diamonds [G] fall, [D7^2] burns like [G] tears
[G] Once I had a love from the [C] Georgia [G] pines
Who [D7^2] only cared for [Em] me
Gonna [G] find that love of 22, here at [D7^2] 33
Got a [G] heart on my right and [C] one on my [G] left
But [D7^2] neither suits my [Em] needs
Cause the [G] one I want is way out west
And he [D7^2] never will need [G] me
[NC] Oh, I wish it would [G] rain, wash my [C] face [G] clean
I wanna find some dark clouds to hide in [D7-alt] here
Oh, the love and [G] memory, it sparkles like [C] dia[G] monds
When the [C] diamonds [G] fall, they burn like [Em] tears
[C] When the diamonds [G] fall, [D7-alt] burns like [G] tears
[G] Gonna pack up my [C] two-steppin' [G] shoes
And [D7^2] head for the Gulf Coast[Em] plains
Wanna [G] walk the streets of my hometown
Where everybody knows my [D7^2] name
Gonna [G] ride the train down to [C] Galva[G]ston
Where the [D7^2] hurricanes blow [Em] in
Cause that [G] Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine
When your [D7^2] heart's blowin’ home in the [G] wind
[NC] Oh, I wish it would [G] rain, wash my [C] face [G] clean
I wanna find some dark clouds to hide in [D7^2] here
Oh, the love and [G] memory, it sparkles like [C] dia[G] monds
When the [C] diamonds [G] fall, they burn like [Em] tears
[C] When the diamonds [G] fall, [D7^2] burns like [G] tears
[NC] Oh, I wish it would [G] rain, wash my [C] face [G] clean
I wanna find some dark clouds to hide in [D7^2] here
Oh, the love and [G] memory, it sparkles like [C] dia[G] monds
When the [C] diamonds [G] fall, they burn like [Em] tears
[C] When the diamonds [G] fall, [D7^2] burns like [G] tears
