Someday the rains will fall
Em G
Someday the rains will fall when you expect it least,
Am Em
someday
the rains will fall.

Someday the rains will fall when you expect it least,
Am Em

the rains will fall.

1. When I first come down here from the country,
C
Em
came
to a fork in the road,
C Em
one
way went nowhere,
D
Em
and
the other, it carried a heavy load.
+ CHORUS
C Em
2. Your eyes and mind are always looking for trouble,
C Em
what
if it permeates the brain ?
C Em
Try to take a shortcut home,
D
Em
and
you end up back where you started again.
+ CHORUS
C
Em
3. Hurry down the alley with another man's woman,
C Em
you
don't care nothing about the ring on her hand.
C Em
You think surely you can get
away,
D Em
and
sometimes maybe you can.
+ CHORUS
C
Em
4. You're all just a bunch of lousy liars,
C Em
never
seen a hypocrite before.
C Em
Then you would love to judge
each other,
D
Em
but
hypocrites we are forever more.
Em G
Someday the rains will fall when you expect it least,
Am Em
someday
the rains will fall.
Em G
Someday the rains will fall when you expect it least,
Am Em
someday
the rains will fall.
C Em
5. So we jiggle up the horse
race,
C Em
oh,
man, that desire to win
C Em
keeps
our bellies so hungry,
D Em
and
we all want to repent in the end.
+ CHORUS
(John Mellencamp)
