Patty Griffin - Rain
this is a very easy but beautiful song
tuning: standard
intro: x4
verse 1:
It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart
Beating close to mine
Pounding up against the stone and steel
Walls that I won't climb
Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep
You think that you're gonna drown
Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep
With all this rain falling down
Chorus:
Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain
x2
verse 2 (same chords)
Its hard to know when to give up the fight
Two things you want will just never be right
Its never rained like it has to night before
Now I don't wanna beg you baby
For something maybe you could never give
I'm not looking for the rest of your life
I just want another chance to live
Chorus
short interlude (hold F)
x4
Chorus (x2)
Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm still alive underneath this shroud
Rain
Rain
Rain
