[verse 1]
C      F                    G                C     C C F G
And I, I was married in the town where I was born
        C     F                G                 C    C C F G
And the rain, it pooled in the fields around the farm
    C    F               G                      C     C C F G
And her, the dust in her hair and my kid in her arms
       C      F                G                 C     C C F G
I bent early, one night in the winds of a silent storm

[Bridge]
Dm7             Am
My skin in her mother's hands
Dm7             Am
Dishsoap and a wedding band
Dm7           G              C          C C F 
One voice, it only speaks so loud here
F             G              C          C C F G
One voice, it only speaks so loud here  

[Verse 2]
    C      F         G                   C     C C F G
And Bobby, under the awning to shake the sun
        C       F              G                      C    C C F G
He says listen, on the hottest day when it's dead and calm
        C     F         G                     C       C C F G
And the sound is like a freight train rolling through
        C     F                    G                  C      C C F G
And the rain, when it stops you'll know what's coming through

[Bridge]
Dm7             Am
Don't fill his head with that
Dm7             Am
The boy's only two and a half
Dm7           G
One voice, it only speaks
   C
To call your name
       G
And to take you out
         F                    G                  C
Past the dirt gray fields and miles of telephone lines

[Verse 3]
    C      F      G                C    C C F G
And three, it was three long years ago
    C     F                G              C    C C F G
And five, five years comes sometime after four
    C  F           G                      C      C C F G
And I, I dunked my head in the stream and prayed
        C      F               G              C    C C F G
And the water, it listened but it don't carry away
