[Verse 1]
C                                    F
When I let these restless feet start walking
C                                    G7
Stumbling blocks of stone get in the way
C                               F
Then I heard old memories start talking
    C              G7                 C
And all the gentle things they had to say

[Chorus]
                          F               C
Gentle rains of home with soft winds grow more dearly
                         Am                  G
And the way grows darker with each depth you row
         C                  F           C
When you feel the storms of life in all their fury
                     G               C    G
You long to feel the gentle rains of home

[Verse 2]
C                             F
Yes I had to look back from a distance
   C                         G
To see the beauty of my honeycomb
C                             F
Now I know there's nothing in existence
   C               G               C     C   C
So soothing as the gentle rains of home

[Recited}
                    F
The gentle rains of home fell on my shoulder
C                                   G     G7
  Those crystal drops of silver memories
C                                    F
Yes and I'd give ten years of my life  just to hold her
C                   G           C
  And hear the rain   fall on familiar trees

[Chorus]
                          F               C
Gentle rains of home with soft winds grow more dearly
                         Am                  G
And the way grows darker with each depth you row
         C                  F           C
When you feel the storms of life in all their fury
                     G               C
You long to feel the gentle rains of home

[Chorus]
A7        D                  G               D
   Gentle rains of home with soft winds grow more dearly
                         Bm                  A    A7
And the way grows darker with each depth you row
         D                  G                 D
When you feel the storms of life in all their fury
