[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
