A                F#m 
Will you comfort me in my time of need? 
        D                               E 
Can you take away the pain of a hurtful deed? 
               A                        F#m 
'Cause when we need it most, there's no rain at all 
    D                 A                  E 
And dust just settles right there on the fields 

         Bm                 D            A 
Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come? 
         F#m                     E 
When the sky can't offer none to me 
       Bm                   D        A 
I will come for you when my days are through 
         F#m                 D             A 
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me 

                A 
'Cause when the calm comes down 
              F#m 
I'll take the truck on into town 
    D            A                E 
And buy whatever we can't seem to grow 
             A 
I work these hands till they bleed 
             F#m 
'Cause I got mouths to feed 
      D               A             E 
I got fifteen dollars hid above the stove 

         Bm                 D            A 
Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come? 
         F#m                     E 
When the sky can't offer none to me 
       Bm                   D        A 
I will come for you when my days are through 
         F#m                 D             A 
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me 

                A                    F#m 
'Cause it ain't like it was, oh back in those days 
     D              A          E 
When everyone would offer up a hand 
          A                          F#m 
These old bones are worn, I've grown tiresome 
      D               A            E 
And I know my time is surely gonna come 

         Bm                 D            A 
Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come? 
         F#m                     E 
When the sky can't offer none to me 
       Bm                   D        A 
I will come for you when my days are through 
         F#m                 D             A 
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me 

         A                              F#m 
Lord, we married young and stayed where we came from 
    D                   A             E 
And gave those children everything we had 
         A                  F#m 
Will you stay with me in my time of need? 
   D                 A               E 
It seems we had such little time for us 

         Bm                 D            A 
Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come? 
         F#m                     E 
When the sky can't offer none to me 
       Bm                   D        A 
I will come for you when my days are through 
         F#m                 D             A 
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me
