Em                C            G                  D
There's a line of thunderheads movin' in from the west
Em               C                   G                 D
It might finally rain today, but the crops are already dead

C                     G                       Em               C
And at home there's a woman who's lonely, I'm already half way gone
Am               Bm                      C              D
She's all that I have left and now she's barely hangin' on

Chorus

C             G                C                         G
She feels ne- glected like the drought that plagued this land
C            G                    D                  C   Bm
In need of a lovers touch, in the hands of an honest man
C      G                              Em                   C
At the end of the day, there's not e- nough of me to go a- round
                      D                      G
At least the rain has finally started coming down

Em             C         G              D
I can't really blame her for feelin' so lone
Em                C              G              D
She just wants to talk about her day when I get home

C                     G                     Em                 C
She cooks dinner then I fall asleep and her tears are the only sound
Am      Bm                     C                    D
Married life around here is as hard as this thirsty ground

Chorus

C             G                C                         G
She feels ne- glected like the drought that plagued this land
C            G                    D                  C   Bm
In need of a lovers touch, in the hands of an honest man
C      G                              Em                   C
At the end of the day, there's not e- nough of me to go a- round
                      D                      G
At least the rain has finally started coming down

Bridge

C                      Bm
And baby take my hand, stand in the rain and dance
C                    D
Let it wash us clean and soak in this second chance

Chorus

C                G                C                         G
And she felt ne- glected like the drought that plagued this land
C                   G                   D                  C   Bm
Now she's safe in a lovers touch in the hands of an honest man
C                G            Em              C
And we hold each other as the water heals the ground
                       D                      G
Thank god the rain has finally started comin' down
