Don Henley - Praying for rain

^GSomething’s different^Bm/F#, something’s changed^Em, and I don’t know ^G/Dwhy ^Cmaj7Even the old folks can’t recall when it’s ev^Ger been this ^Dhot and dry ^GDust devils w^Bm/F#hirlin’ on the f^Emirst day of J^G/Duly It’s a h^Cmaj7undred degrees at 10 am, and not a^Dsus4 cloud up in the sk^Dy

^GWe hardly had a^Bm/F# winter, and ^Emhad about a week of sp^G/Dring ^Cmaj7Crops are burned up in the fields, there’s a b^Glanket of dust on ever^Dything ^GThe weather man is s^Bm/F#ayin’ that there ai^Emn’t no change in s^G/Dight ^Cmaj7Lord, I’ve never been a prayin’ man, but I’m^Dsus4 sayin’ one toni^Dght

I’m prayin’ for r^Gain, ^{Em Bm} I’m prayin’ for r^Gain ^{Em Bm D} Lord,^Cmaj7 I ain’t never as^Gked for much, and I ^Emdon’t mean t^Do complai^Cn But I’m prayin’ for ra^Gin ^{Em Bm}

^GI ain’t no ^Bm/F#wise man,^Em but I ain’t no^G/D fool, ^Cmaj7And I believe that mother nature is ^Gtaking us to sc^Dhool ^GMaybe we just ^Bm/F#took too much and p^Emut too little b^G/Dack ^Cmaj7It isn’t knowledge, it’s hum^Dsus4ility we lack^D

I’m prayin’ for r^Gain, ^{Em Bm} I’m prayin’ for r^Gain ^{Em Bm D} Lord,^Cmaj7 I ain’t never as^Gked for much, and I ^Emdon’t mean t^Do complai^Cn But I’m prayin’ for ra^Gin ^{Em Bm}

^Cmaj7Some people pray for victory, some ^Gpeople pray for peace ^Cmaj7Some people pray for extra time, some p^Gray for sweet release ^Cmaj7Some pray for health and happiness, for ric^Emhes un-renowned ^{D Cmaj7}But none of this will matter much if the wate^Drs don’t come down

I’m prayin’ for r^Gain, ^{Em Bm} I’m prayin’ for r^Gain ^{Em Bm D} Lord,^Cmaj7 I ain’t never as^Gked for much, and I ^Emdon’t mean t^Do complai^Cn But I’m prayin’ for ra^Gin ^{Em Bm}
