(ver. 1)
Ian Tyson

Eighteen Inches of Rain          Ian Tyson

Tune Guitar down 1/2 step.

Intro:  C   Am   Dm   G    C

C
A'not a broke horse on the place,
F                     Dm
My pickup truck won't go,
C                        Dm           G
The tractor lost a wheel about a week ago,
C
The wind is from the east,
C       F               Dm
Blowing hard across the plains,
C            Am       Dm      G     C
I'm high and lonesome waiting for a change.

(Chorus)
C                  F
Just give me one broke horse with a good fittin' saddle,
C
That's easy on your back,
F
One good woman who makes up the difference,
C
For everything I lack,
Am                 G
One last chance to sell my calves,
C                             F
Before the prices go to hell again,
C           Am   Dm       G         C
Clear blue skies... eighteen inches of rain.


C    
The coffee's kinda bitter,
       F            Dm
is the water or the pot?
C                                           
Until I get to town,
          Dm             G
I'll make do with what I got,
C  
The Copenhagen's runnin' low
         F            Dm
I should quit it anyway's,
C                Am 
Me and this old outfit,
     Dm        G      C
Have both seen better days.


(Repeat Chorus Twice)

C                       Am      
Just give me clear blue skies,
Dm       G         C
eighteen inches of rain.
C                       Am      
Just give me clear blue skies,
Dm       G         C
eighteen inches of rain.
