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.
