Lyrics
CH 08 If the Rain Don't Come ( GAmGAm GAmGF capot 5 so CDmCDm CDmGBb If the rain don't come Then the river runs dry If the rain don't come Life'll pass you by If the rain don't come It's the heaven's curse If the rain don't come Take a turn for the worst (AmGFGx4 Am) capot 5 so DmCBbCx4 Dm Tenacity and persistence Will keep your game in play But on the margins of existence You need luck to go your way It takes all your inner strength To keep the family strong You'll go to any length To keep on keeping on. keeping on If the rain don't come Then the crops will die If the rain don't come There's not enough water to cry If the rain don't come Dig a deeper well If the rain don't come Take you straight to hell We can cause our own misfortunes That clearly is agreed But the vagaries of climateCan be in another league We may pray for God's deliverance In our times of need But omniscient indifferenceIs all that we receivewe receive So If the rain don't come Then we're at a loss If the rain don't come Who gives a toss If the rain don't come Then we're begging please If the rain don't come Down upon our knees On our knees On our knees
