---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saddle in the Rain - John Prine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse E I wish, I hope, I wonder A Where you're at sometimes E Is your back against the wall? A Or just across the line E Have you been standing in the rain A Reciting nursery rhymes? E Trying to recall A Some long lost kind of peace of mind D Peace of mind G Try spending the night sometime D All alone in a frozen room A Afterneath you've lain E Your Saddle in the rain
(Repeat Intro)
E I dreamed they locked God up A Down in my basement E And he waited there for me A To have this accident E So he could drink my wine A And eat me like a sacrament E And I just stood there like I do A Then I came and went D I came and went G Like a bird in a foreign sky D Couldn't even say good bye A Or come and share the pain E My Saddle's in the rain
