[Verse]
C G C F
Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago,
C F C C7
I reached out one night and you were gone.
F G C Am
Don't know why you'd run, what you're running to or from,
D7 G7
all I know is I want to bring you home.
C G C F
So I'm walking in the rain, thumbing for a ride on this
C F C C7
lonely Kentucky backroad.
F G C Am
I've loved you much too long and my love's too strong
D7 G7 Fmaj7
to let you go, never knowing what went wrong.
D7 C Bm Em Am
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down and up ahead's another town
G F Em F C Fmaj7 C Em Am Em C
that I'll go walking thru with the rain in my shoes,
Am Am7 F G7 C Em F
searchin for you in the cold Kentucky rain,
G7 C
in the cold Kentucky rain.
C G C F
Showed your photograph to some old gray bearded men
C F C C7
sitting on a bench outside a gen'ral store.
F G C Am
They said "Yes, she's been here" but their mem'ry wasn't clear,
D7 G7
was it yesterday, no, wait the day before.
C G C
So I fin'ly got a ride with a preacher man who
F C F C C7
asked: "Where you bound on such a dark afternoon?"
F G C
As we drove on thru the rain as he listened
Am D7 G7 Fmaj7
I explained and he left me with a prayer that I'd find you.
D7 C Bm Em Am
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down and up ahead's another town
G F Em F C Fmaj7 C Em Am Em C
that I'll go walking thru with the rain in my shoes,[Am][Em][C]
Am Am7 F G7 C Em F
searchin for you in the cold Kentucky rain,
G7 C Em F G7
in the cold Kentucky rain, in the cold
