[Verse]
G Cadd9
The old man loaded up everything that he owned
G D Dsus4 D
On a wagon and headed out west
G Cadd9
The old woman fearlessly faced the unknown
G D Dsus4 D
'Cause she figured he knew what was best
Cadd9 G
And they settled down hard on a government grant
Cadd9 G D
With six mouths to feed and forty acres to plant
[Chorus]
Em Em7 Cadd9 D
And the rain came down
Em Cadd9
Like an angel come down from above
Em Em7 Cadd9 D
And the rain came down
Em Cadd9 D G
It'll wash you away and there ain't never enough
[Verse]
G Cadd9
Fall turned to winter another year gone
G D Dsus4 D
Over and over again
G Cadd9
Some took their lives from their land and moved on
G D Dsus4 D
And some stayed on to plow it back in
C G
And the good Lord he giveth and he taketh away
Cadd9 G D
And the restless shall go and the faithful shall stay
[Chorus]
Em Em7 C D
And the rain came down
Em C
Like an angel come down from above
Em Em7 C D
And the rain came down
Em C D G
It'll wash you away and there ain't never enough
Cadd9 G/B Cadd9 G/B Cadd9 G/B G
[Bridge]
D
Now my grandaddy died in the room he was born in
Cadd9 G
Twenty-three summers ago
D Cadd9
But I could have sworn he was beside me this morning
G
When the sheriff showed up at my door
[Verse]
Cadd9 G
So don't you come around here with your auctioneer man
Cadd9 G D D
'Cause you can have the machines but you ain't taking my land
[Chorus]
Em Em7 Cadd9 D
And the rain came down
Em Cadd9
Like an angel come down from above
Em Em7 Cadd9 D
And the rain came down
Em Cadd9 D G
It'll wash you away and there ain't never enough
