[Intro]
F
Bb F
All day mountains rose behind a veil of smoke from burning fields
Bb F Dm F
And road dust dyeing black skin bronze and the road rolling like a rough sea
C Dm Bb
It's quiet now, just crickets and a dog fight somewhere in the far away
F
In my heart I hold your photograph
Gm F
And the thought of you comes on like the feel of the coming rains
Bb F
Hot breeze ran its fingers through the long grass of a thatched roof eave
Bb
They stuck me in the only chair they had while they cooked cassava
F
And a luckless hen
C Dm
They asked for one well three lanterns and 200 litres of fuel and
Bb
I said, "Who, me?"
F
And the time for planting's coming soon
Gm F
And the thought of you comes on like the feel of the coming rains
[Instrumental]

C Dm Bb F
Gm F Dm F
C
In the town neon flickers in the ruins
F Gb Db F
Seven crows swoop past the luscious moon
Dm F
If I had wings like those there'd be no waiting
Bm D Eb F
I'd come panting to your door and slide like smoke into your room
Bb F
All day the mountains rose behind a veil of smoke from burning fields
Bb F
And road dust dyeing black skin bronze and the road rolling like a rough sea
C Dm Bb
It's quiet now, just crickets and a dog fight somewhere in the far away
F
In my heart I hold your photograph
Gm F
And the thought of you comes on like the feel of the coming rains
F
And the time for planting's coming soon
Gm F
And the thought of you comes on like the feel of the coming rains
