Someday the rains will fall

2 x Refrain

1.)
C                                    em
When I first come down here from the country
C                       em
Came to the fork in the road
C            em
One way went nowhere
D                                 em
And the other, it carried a heavy load

2 x Refrain

2.)
C                                         em
Your eyes and mind are always looking for trouble
C                        em
What if it permeates the brain?
C                      em
Try to take a shortcut home
D                                     em
And you end up back where you started again

2 x Refrain

3.)
C                                       em
Hurry down the alley with another man's woman
C                                            em
You don't care nothing about the ring on her hand
C                            em
You think surely you can get away
D                       em
And sometimes maybe you can

2 x Refrain

4.)
C                                em
You're all just a bunch of lousy liars
C                      em
Never seen a hypocrite before
C                                 em
Then you would love to judge each other
D                             em
But hypocrites we are forever more

2 x Refrain

5.)
C                         em
So we jiggle up the horse race
C                      em
Oh man, that desire to win
C                    em
Keeps our bellies so hungry
D                                em
And we all want to repent in the end
