C G7 C F
Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago
C F C
I reached out one night and you were gone
F G7 C Am
Don't know why you'd run what you're running to or from
D7 G7
All I know is I want to bring you home
C G7 C F
So I'm walking in the rain thumbing for a ride
C F C
On this lonely Kentucky back-road
F G7 C Am
I've loved you much too long my love's too strong
D7 G7
To let you go never knowing what went wrong
D7 C
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
Em Am F C
And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through
F C Em Am F
With the rain in my shoes searching for you
G7 C F G7 C
In the cold Kentucky rain in the cold Kentucky rain
G7 C F
Showed your photograph to some old gray bearded men
C F C
Sitting on a bench outside a general store
F G7 C Am
They said yes she's been here but their memory wasn't clear
D7 G7
Was it yesterday no wait the day before
C G7 C F
Finally got a ride with a preacher man who asked
C F C
Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon
F G7 C Am
As we drove on through the rain as he listened I explained
D7 G7
And he left me with a prayer that I'd find you
