Rains Are Gonna Come Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Comfort past the [A]summertime,
clouds begin [Am]to fall
Shooting through [A]the tangled
road signals of [Am]the storm
[A]Was this the year we were [Am]to see,
or the year before the last?
When reality just starved to death
and the [G]future ate [A]the past
[Am]Stand[G]ing on this empty plain,
[D]hands up [F#aug]to the sun
[D]Surely [Am]as the winds will rise,
[G]the rains are [D]gonna [A]come[Am]
[A]The un[Am]blinking eye of the dragon
[A]fly eats the bitter pill
[Am]Every child was born[A] deceived as[Am]
they saw the earth be killed
Memor[A]ies of slavery make
a mutiny in [Am]my mind
Choices must [A]be made here,
what to [G]keep and [D]leave be[A]hind
Sym[G]bols shattered in the wind,
the [D]tempest has begun
[A]Surely as the lightning strikes,
the [G]rains are [D]gonna [Am]come[A][Am][A]
Tongues thirst by the river,
mouths starve [Am]on the flames
The burning bush spits [A]poison,
[Am]keen confusion reigns
Compassion [A]nailed to the cross,
the day the righteous [Am]fled
What meaning is worth [A]the rescue if
that in[G]difference [D]has been [A]bled?
I [G]feel like a fugitive run[D]ning to the sun
[Am]Sure as the thunder roars the [G]rains
are [D]gonna [Am]come[A][Am][A][Am][A]
[Am]I'm praying for deliverance
from a world I cannot see
Will there ever be redemption
if one soul's [A]left unfree
I'm [Am]looking [A]to the heavens,
[Am]I'm [A]looking to the ground
[Am]The whole world's gone to pieces,
[G]lost and upside [A]down
[Am]The [G]vision of a [D]blind [G]man
star[D]ing at the sun
[Am]Surely as the darkness falls,
[G]the rains are [D]gonna [A]come[Am][A][Am]
[A]Surely as the dar[Am]kness falls,
[G]the rains are gonna [A]come[Am][A]
Surely as the winds will rise, [G]the rains are [D]gonna [A]come
