 Verse:
 G                         A                         C           
 Well the wind blows hard upon weepin' will hair and the red buds
            G        G                            A               
 sway in the breeze/ And if you listen real close you can hear the
                 C                     G  
 distant cry of a broken man on his knees.
 
 Chorus:
 C                             G             
 And the rain beats hard on a poor man's head
 C                                       G                
 And the wind blows the nails out of the tin roof of shame
 A C G (A little hammer on pull
 And the water keeps on risin at the old homestead ...off on the A string)

 G                                  A                         C      
 Well if the corns knees high by the fourth of July and Mother Nature
              G     G                                      A        
 smiles on us all/ And there's a ring around the moon and that means
                         C                                 G 
 rain is comin' soon and we'll have a good harvest this fall.

 And the rain beats hard on a poor on man's head
 C                                       C                
 And the wind blows the nails out of the tin roof of shame
 A                           C                   G 
 And the moon keeps on shinin at the old homestead

 Well the wind blows through the wheat field at night and it plays a
          G    G                                         A            
 lonely tune/ And the bones clatter in the trees waving endless summer
                         C                             G 
 breeze/ Well there ain't nothin like Lee County in June
 
 Chorus:
 C                            G              
 And the rain beats hard on a poor man's head
 C                                       G                
 And the wind blows the nails out of the tin roof of shame
 A                            C                   G 
 And the river keeps on flowin at the old homestead
