Nanci Griffith - I Wish It Would Rain

      G
Oh, I wish it would rain
      G      C     G
and wash my face clean. 

I want to find some dark clouds
            D
to hide in here.
              G
Oh, love in a memory
    G          C  G
sparkles like diamonds.
                              D        Em-C
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears.
                    G         D          G
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears.

Once I had a love from the Georgia pines
     D     Em      G
who only cared for me.
       C                  G
Gonna find that love of twenty-two
                 D
here at thirty-three.
         G                     C         G
I got a heart on my right and one on my left
     D                Em
but neither suits my needs,
           C      G       C       G
'Cause the one I love is way out west
        D              G
and he never will need me.

G                      C            G
I?m gonna pack up my two-steppin' shoes
     D                        Em
and head for the Gulf Coast plains.
              C                           G
I want to walk the streets of my old hometown
        Em                D
Where everybody knows my name.
G                                 C     G
I?m gonna ride the train down to Galveston
           D             Em
When the hurricanes blow in,
             C                       G 
?Cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine
Em                          D          G
when your heart's blowing home in the wind.
