[Verse 1]
Well, [C]it
hadn't rained in as many
Sundays as the [G]preacher he had prayed
But it [Am]didn't matter 'cause
nobody [F]prayed it anyway
[C]Some danced and some sang
[G]Some threw silver rings
And the [Am]corn got yella and the
wheat all died
And the sun dried up the springs
When the [C]rains came
The [G]whole town lost [Em]it's mind
[Am]Poured gasoline down Main Street
And we [F]set it up on fire
When [C]the rains [Dm]came
[G]How were we [Em]to know
[Am]We'd held on for so long
And [F]just to let it go
[C]When the rains came
[G]And[C] they called in the state
troopers
[G]And they called in the police
And they ar[Am]rested everybody
My [F]brothers and me
And [C]when we got to court
[Dm]And they put u[G]s on the stand
[Em]We just look[Am]ed at each other
Started [F]laughing once again
'Cause when the [C]rains came
The [G]whole town lost
it's mind
[Am]Poured gasoline down Main Street
And we [F]set it up on fire
[C]When the rains came
[G]How were we [Em]to know
[Am]We'd held on for so long
And [F]just to let it go
When the rains [C]came[G][Am]
[F][C][G]
[Am][F]
[C]Some say it's a tragedy
Some [G]say it's a shame
Some [Am]say it's the water
We [F]never got to drink
[C]Some blame Jesus
[G]Some blame the rock and roll
[Am]I think we were just trying to get
A [F]little bit of control
So, when [C]the rains came
The [G]whole town lost [Em]it's mind
[Am]Poured gasoline down Main Street
And we [F]set it up on fire
[C]When the rains came
[G]How were we to know
[Em]We'd held [Am]on for so long
And [F]just to let it go
When [C]the rains came
When [G]the rains [Em]came
[Am][F]
When the rain[C]s c[G]ame[Am][F]
When the rain[C]s came
When the rain[G]s[Em][Am][F][C]
[G][Am][F][C]
[Am][G][F]
[C]came
