Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

Rain beatin' down on a midnight moon

 Oh baby, I'll be leavin' soon

 Take me away

 The winds are howlin' like an old freight train

 Oh babe these are the winds of change

 Take me away

Chorus

 'Cause I've been sittin' on the front porch

 Watchin' the world go 'round

 Through the eyes of a fool, head like a rock

 My whole world tumbling down

Rain beatin' down on a midnight moon

  (slide) /9

Oh baby, I'll be leaving soon

 Take me away

Solo

Verse 2

Grass around your ankles in the field before the flood

You're a rough-cut diamond in the Mississippi mud

Take me away

I'm a two-time loser with my guitar and my gun

You're a mover and a shaker and a lover in the sun

Take me away

Chorus
