Intro: C F C F F/G G7

C            C4/G
Seven lonely days
       C          C4/G
and a dozen towns ago,
   C               C4/G
I reached out one night
              C  C4/7
and you were gone

F                     G
Don't know why you'd run,
            C             Am
what you're running to or from,
D7              Dm7
all I know is I want to
           F/G G7
bring you home.

        C             C4/G
So I'm walking in the rain,
C              Bb/C
thumbing for a ride
         C    C4/G
on this lonely
         C       C4/7
Kentucky backroad

      F                  G
I've loved you much too long
    C               Am
and my love's too strong
D7
to let you go, never knowing
          F/G   F7+
what went wrong

D7                          C  G/B
  Kentucky rain keeps pouring down

Em
 and up ahead's another
Am   G    F    Em F7+
town that I'll go walking thru
         C          C7+     Am
with the rain in my shoes,(rain in my shoes)
Am       G   F7+ F/G
searchin for you

       G7            C   G/B F/A

C              C4/G
Showed your photograph
        C                C9
to some old gray bearded men
        C             Bb/C
sitting on a bench outside
          C    C7/4
a gen'ral store

           F               G
They said "Yes, she's been here"
          C             Am
but their mem'ry wasn't clear,
       D7
was it yesterday,
                   G7
no, wait the day before.

     C            Bb/C
So I fin'ly got a ride
       C                Bb/C
with a preacher man who asked:
           C                Bb/C
"Where you bound on such a cold dark
     C    C7/4
afternoon?"

      F                 G
As we drove on thru the rain
       C           Am
as he listened I explained
       D7
and he left me with a prayer

              F/G G7 F7+
that I'd find you

D7                          C Bm
