[VERSE 1] Em Great rain great rain AGEm I thought I heard you call my name A Great rain great rain GAEm I thought I heard you call my name Bm I was standing in the station AGEm Waving down an unmarked train
[VERSE 2] Em There's a fire at the junction AGEm Why do you do the things you do A There's a fire at the junction GAEm Why do you do the things you do Bm I was praying for mercy AGEm And all he ever sent me was you

[VERSE 3] Em Jimmy bought the liquor AGEm I bought the cups and ice A Jimmy bought the liquor GAEm I bought the cups and ice Bm I tell you funny stories AGEm Why can't you treat me nice
[VERSE 4] Em Great rain great rain AGEm I thought I heard you call my name A Great rain great rain GAEm I thought I heard you calling my name Bm I was standing by the river AGEm Talking to a young Mark Twain.
