Capo 2


G                            Dm 
Dark clouds in the distance, whitecaps rollin’ in
          C                                          G
There’s a gentle warm rain on Corpus Christi and the gusts of a tattletale wind.
G                             Dm 
Shrimpboats turning homeward, airwaves crackle with life
           C                                     G
And if you ain’t in San Antonio by sundown, it's gonna be a helluva night


CHORUS:
         G             Dm
It’s the rain before a hurricane
         C                            G
When you know trouble’s comin’ like a runaway train
   G                      Dm
No matter what you do, no matter what you say
       C                D 
You’re gonna get blown away


Truth is hard to come by, confidences fail
And when you find somebody you can trust nowadays, better hang on tooth and nail
Cause someone’s workin’ late tonight and someone’s home alone
And it’s hell wakin’ up in the middle of the night just to wonder what’s goin’ wrong

Chorus


Bridge:
           G
And if you make it through this perfect storm
Dm                    C
Without gettin’ torn apart
      G 
Maybe next time you’ll have ears to hear
    Dm              C                D
The warning signals sounding in your heart


Solo


She prayed for things to get better, they couldn't get much worse
Since she'd fallen in love and followed some stranger halfway around the earth
They fought a lot in Dallas, she thought "it's just his foolish pride"
Till she read the note he left on the dresser that morning John Kennedy died
