RAIN CAME DOWN  (Chuck Girard)
        
        Em      
And the rain came down

And it fell upon the ground
        C
And reminded me of all the words You said
        Am                      Em
Yes the rain came down, yes the rain came down
         C7          
And the truth came down around me
         B7               Em
Like the sky was rainin' lead

G
Woke up this mornin' to the sound of fallin' rain

So many awful messages were rollin' 'round my brain
F
I looked out my window and the sky was dark as night
    Am
Is it too late to change my ways and try and see the light
   Em
I looked out to the left of me the water risin' high
    C7
And in the flash of lightnin' that was lightin' up the sky
   Am
I saw my neighbors wadin' through the water in the dark
  C7                                    B7
I know where they were goin' they were headin' for the ark

chorus
   G
I caught them in a moment there was panic on my face

Others joined our group and made it clear this was a race
   F
We had to try and find the ark and hope he¹d let us in
Am
He who'd often warned us of the wages of our sin
    C
We moved along in silence though our hearts were cryin' out
Em
Noah was no fool there was no longer any doubt
    C
We rolled around the bend to where the ark had always stayed
     B7
Our tears turned into wailing as we watched it sail away.

chorus
G
Woke up this mornin' when I heard a siren scream

The sound of morning traffic pulled me from my awful dream
F
My body bathed is sweat that matched the rain that fell outside
   Am
I realized my time had come I could no longer hide
C
All the early lessons I had learned at Sunday school
Em
Slashed me to the heart and made me see I'd been a fool
  C
I realized that all these years my eyes had been so blind
  B7                                                 Em
I grabbed the telephone...and got my preacher on the line.
