Rodney Crowell - I Wish It Would Rain guitar chord

I Wish It Would Rain by Rodney Crowell

(Rodney Crowell)

D

Turning tricks on Sunset

F#m

Twenty bucks a pop

Bm

Some out of town old businessman

G

Or an undercover cop

D Bm

I'm living with the virus flowing way down in my veins

G D

Oh, I wish it would rain

Know you've heard my story

Or seen me on the street

Just another cracker gigolo

Dressed up like trick or treat

Now you may want to judge me

Or treat me with disdain

Oh, I wish it would rain

G

Memphis, Texas, Houston, Tennessee

D

Man I'm just so turned around

Don’t know where I want to be

G

This California desert is driving me Insane

D-G

Oh, I wish it would rain

So I've squandered my resistance

Taking any kind of drug

I'd smoke or shoot or eat it

I'd drink it from a jug

And I offer no excuses for your sympathies to gain

Oh, I wish it would rain

G

Everybody knows me as the kid

D

I've made it seven years and still don’t know how I did

G

I’ve come from a long line of live and love In vain

D-G

Oh, I wish it would rain

I've prayed to Mother Mary

I've even seen a priest

So when the angels come to get me

I know I'll be released

I'll leave this mean ol' desert bound for Memphis on a train

Oh, I wish it would rain
