[Verse]
D G A7 D
Grandpa raised a family on a worn-out cotton farm
G A7 Bm
Borrowed money on his word he never did nobody harm
G C A7 D
Sometimes he'd get discouraged when a dry spell came around
D G C
He'd go out in the cotton field and he'd kneel down on the ground
[Chorus]
D D/F# G D/F# Em A7 D
Give us rain_______on this dry old ground today
D D/F# G A7 Bm
Give us rain____ wash the troubled times away
G D A7 Bm
I believe you're faithful I'm not meaning to complain
C G D
But Lord we sure could use a little rain
C G D
Lord we sure could use a little rain

[Verse 2]
D D/F# G A7 D
I moved to the city when I turned twenty-two
D D/F# G A7 Bm
I saw a way of living that my grandpa never knew
G C A7 D
I'm a different kind of farmer in a different kind of field
D D/F# G C
Planting words of hope in a ground as hard as steel
[Chorus]
D D/F# G D/F# Em A7 D
Give us rain_______on this dry old ground today
D D/F# G A7 Bm
Give us rain____ wash the troubled times away

I believe you're faithful I'm not meaning to complain

Lord we sure could use a little rain
[Verse 3]
E A B7 E
There's a crop of thirsty people in this dry old dusty town
E A B7 C#m
They grow up fast and wither when the scorching sun comes down
A D B7 E
Although there is a difference the need is still the same

Just like grandpa's cotton field they need a little rain
[Chorus]

Lord we sure could use a little rain
