Song Title:

“Rainmaker’s Lament”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse)
Am G F C
Rainmaker’s on the road again,
Am G F C
With a suitcase full of dreams and pain.
Am G F C
Chasing storms, he’s got no end,
Am G F C
A gambler in a lover’s game.

(Chorus)
Dm G C A
Hey rainmaker, don’t you cry,
Dm G C A
Underneath the cloudy sky.
Dm G C A
You’re a drifter, you’re a saint,
Dm G C A
In your lament, we find our faith.

(Verse)
Am G F C
Hearts are dry, in need of rain,
Am G F C
His tears fall, but not in vain.
Am G F C
Through every loss, through every gain,
Am G F C
He marches on, in love’s refrain.

(Chorus)
Dm G C A
Hey rainmaker, don’t you cry,
Dm G C A
Underneath the cloudy sky.
Dm G C A
You’re a drifter, you’re a saint,
Dm G C A
In your lament, we find our faith.
