Nanci Griffith - I Wish It Would Rain Chords

[Chorus]
//                  G
Oh, I wish it would rain
           Cadd9 G
And wash my face clean
 
I want to find some dark cloud,
        D
To hide in a-here.
              G     Cadd9 G              Cadd9  G    (Coda last time)
Oh, love in a memory,       sparkles like dia   monds
                       D                Em C
When the diamonds fall,  they burn like te ars
                  G    D               G     Cadd9 G
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears
 
 
[Verse]
G                          Cadd9   G
Once I had a love from the Georgia pines
    D              Em
Who only cared for me
        C                 G
I wanna find that love of twenty-two
               D
Here at thirty-three.
           G                     Cadd9     G
I've got a heart on my right and one on my left,
    D                Em
And neither suits my needs
        C                  G
No, the one I love lives a-way out West
    D                  G Cadd9 G
And he never will need me.
 
 
[Chorus]
//                  G
Oh, I wish it would rain
           Cadd9 G
And wash my face clean
 
I want to find some dark cloud,
        D
To hide in a-here.
              G     Cadd9 G              Cadd9  G    (Coda last time)
Oh, love in a memory,       sparkles like dia   monds
                       D                Em C
When the diamonds fall,  they burn like te ars
                  G    D               G     Cadd9 G
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears
 
 
[Verse]
G                    Cadd9        G
I'm gonna pack up my two-steppin' shoes
    D                       Em
And head for the Gulf Coast plains
        C                      G
I wanna walk the streets of my own hometown
                         D
Where everybody knows my name
        G                      Cadd9 G
I wanna ride the waves down to Galveston
         D               Em
Till the hurricanes blow in
            C                             G
‘Cause that Gulf Coast a-water tastes as sweet as wine
          D                           G     Cadd9 G
When your heart's rollin' home in the wind
 
 
[Chorus]
//                  G
Oh, I wish it would rain
           Cadd9 G
And wash my face clean
 
I want to find some dark cloud,
        D
To hide in a-here.
              G     Cadd9 G              Cadd9  G    (Coda last time)
Oh, love in a memory,       sparkles like dia   monds
                       D                Em C
When the diamonds fall,  they burn like te ars
                  G    D               G     Cadd9 G
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears
 
 
[Outro]
                       D                Em C  //
When the diamonds fall,  they burn like te ars
                       D                Em C  //
When the diamonds fall,  they burn like te ars
                  G    D               G      D  G
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears
