THE RAIN FOLLOWS THE PLOW
CONOR OBERST
INTRO:
NONE
VERSE:
G Em
Straight away I learned to pray
F C
Heap praise upon the sky
F C
You go to heaven when you die
G F
But keep that lake of fire in mind
VERSE:
G Em
Broke all the rules at Catholic school
F Em
Turned to a life of crime
F C
When I stole that motorbike
G F
I left a trail of tears behind
BREAK:
G
Had casual sex
C F
Smoked cigarettes
G C
Threw caution to the wind
Dm
Was a winding path
C
But I always planned
G F
To get back to you again
INSTRUMENTAL:
E Abm E Abm Dm F
VERSE:
G Em
'Till the ground 'neath under clouds
F C
The rain follows the plow
F C
But it was never as profound
G F
As I had wanted it to be
VERSE:
G Em
The birds, they sang the rites of spring
F C
In summer's La-Z-Boy
F C
I sat down to enjoy a world
G F
That's comfortable and green
BREAK:
G C F
A red feather hawk and a Celtic cross
G C
Are pierced into my ear
Dm C
No matter where I went I meant
G F
To make my way back here
INSTRUMENTAL:
E Abm E Abm Dm F
BREAK:
G C F
Well I don't need God or common law
G C
To tell me right from wrong
Dm C
'Cause when you press me to your chest
G F
I know where I belong
