Son Volt - The reason

If ever there was a^D reason To dance around th^De sun That you may discover i^Emn time You may need to cut an^Ad run You say you like rainy ^Gweather Like they have in the Nort^Dhwest Or maybe Calif-^Emornia Where everything seems^A best

If ever there was a^D reason To get the lead out of you^Dr feet To the songs of saints and^Em sinners Take the bitter with the^A sweet You can see the rai^Gnbows As something more than colore^Dd sky All the fury of the d^Emownpour Can be a blessing in^A disguise

^BmGet ahead of your d^Aemons D^Draw the line at your^G command ^BmAll your forces moving ^Aforward Throw i^F#mt down that hat in ^Ghand

Time and tide wait for n^Do one Put your shoulder to the^D wheel Give your best and ta^Emke flight Use your smile as your^A shield You may fall on st^Gony ground Hold the line and stay^D sound With the company that yo^Emu keep Still waters run^A deep

Cast your bread upon the^D waters Keep the love that's in your^D heart Use the knowledge that you^Em gain Keep your soul as right a^As rain You can see the ra^Ginbows As something more than colore^Dd sky All the fury of the ^Emdownpour Can be a blessing in^A disguise

You can see the r^Gainbows As something more than colo^Dred sky All the fury of the^Em downpour Can be a blessing in^A disguise
