Intro: A D A D x2

 A                                     D
west wind blows the smell of rain down on me
 A                                  D
summer grass bows down before the storm
 E                                         Fm
lightning black and white strikes out its warning
      D                        A
it's gonna be wild before the dawn

frogs down in the creek break up the silence
spill the rigid hush before the fall
the first drops hit the tin out on the tankstand
better move inside and close the door

Chorus:
E                              Fm
Rain on a tin roofs' been the good things in my life
D                                   A
lie in your arms the whole night through
    E                            Fm
a whisper in the evening and an answer to a prayer
D                                      E
the first night i've spent alone with you
               A    D A D
rain on a tin roof

it's nights like this i close in by the fire
warm my hands and my soul against the flames
and think of nights i've slept out in the wild lands
waiting for the sun to shine agian
