Roger Alan Wade - Chillicothe rain

^DLow down in Ohio from the day he was born ^GCharlie hit that hard road, rollin' like a thunder s^Dtorm Trouble as his shadow, larceny in his blood They s^Glapped him in the castle, for lightin' up some pecker^Dwood He got ^Geleven twenty-nine the first time, rode it out like a ^Dtrain Walked down to the bus line through the ^AChillicothe ^Drain ^{Cadd9 Bm A}

^GSome people stay in hell just because they know the names of the s^Dtreets Some lay their soul on the anvil, hand 'em the hammer, that's m^Ae ^DSorry for the trouble, the worry and the ^Gpain Sorry I never had sense enough to ^Dget out of the ^AChillicothe ^Drain

^DHe hung around in pool halls, like to never find a job ^GFinally started bouncin' for some dude, connected with the Steubenville ^Dmob Fell hard for a dancer, she took him for a ride She coulda ^Gcleared him with her answer, she got on the stand and ^Dlied He got ^Gten years for good behavior, ten years and mark of ^DCain The guard hollered "See ya later" thr^Aough the hard Ch^Dillicot^Cadd9he rai^Bmn ^A

^GSome people stay in hell just because they know the names of the s^Dtreets Some lay their soul on the anvil, hand 'em the hammer, that's m^Ae ^DSorry for the trouble, the worry and the ^Gpain Sorry I never had sense enough to ^Dget out of the ^AChillicothe ^Drain

^DCharlie stayed clear of trouble, for a year he walked that line ^GTryin' to rebuild from the rubble, set things straight in his ^Dmind One night he got a phone call, said "mom I'll be right back" ^GShe just killed the porch light when she heard sirens down by the t^Dracks The ^Gscore he swore he'd settle got him more than a ball and ^Dchain Got him the Lord's prayer and Satan's chair in the C^Ahillicothe r^Dain ^{Cadd9 Bm A}

^GSome people stay in hell just because they know the names of the s^Dtreets Some lay their soul on the anvil, hand 'em the hammer, that's m^Ae My s^Dtorm will soon be over when they run ligh^Gtning through my brain By the time you read this I'll be a l^Dily-white mist in the C^Ahillicothe r^Dain By the t^Gime you read this I'll be a l^Dily-white mist in the C^Ahillicothe r^Dain
