Rodney Crowell, I Wish It Would Rain (2001)
^{Key: :[D] (w: Rodney Crowell)}

INTRO: [D] [G] [D] [G]

VERSE 1:
[D] Turning tricks on sunset, [F#m] twenty bucks a pop
Some [Bm] out of town old business man or an [G] undercover cop
I'm [D] living with a virus flowing [Bm] way down in my veins
[G] Oooh, I wish it would [D] rain [G]

VERSE 2:
I [D] know you've heard my story or [F#m] seen me on the street
Just an-[Bm]-other cracker gigolo dressed [G] up like trick or treat
Now [D] you may want to judge me or [Bm] treat me with disdain
[G] Ooooh, I wish it would [D] rain

BRIDGE 1:
[G] Memphis, Texas; Houston, Tennesee
Man I'm [D] just so turned around
I don't know where I want to be
[G] This California desert is driving me insane
[D] Oooh [G], I wish it would [D] rain [G] // [D] [G]

VERSE 3:
So I've [D] squandered my resistance, taking [F#m] any kind of drug
I'd [Bm] smoke or shoot or eat it, I'd [G] drink it from a jug
[D] I offer no excuses for your [Bm] sympathies to gain
[G] Oooh, I wish it would [D] rain

BRIDGE 2:
[G] Everybody knows me as the kid
I've [D] made it seven years still I don't know how I did
[G] I come from a long line of live and love in vain
[D] Oooh [G], I wish it would [D] rain [G] // [D] [G]

VERSE 4:
So I've [D] prayed to mother Mary, I've [F#m] even seen a priest
When the [Bm] angels come to get me, I [G] know I'll be released
I'll [D] leave this mean old desert bound for [Bm] Memphis on that train
[G] Oooh, I wish it would [D] rain
[G] Oooh, I wish it would [D] rain
