Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

Sweet relief to wake to the rain

 Upon my roof in the attic by my bed

Loud enough to wake me to the visions

 That had come taken root in the night

Chorus

 Oh trouble be gentle when you bring me pain

 Oh trouble be soft like the morning rain

 But don’t stop when I tell ya

 Turn your ear when I beg for you to leave

 Til you’ve taught me and I’ve learned from thee

Verse

Sweet relief to know that the spirit of change

Receives me in its arms

But what’s it take to know and recognize

 The touch of wisdom when it greets me with a fight

Chorus

 Oh trouble be gentle when you bring me pain

 Oh trouble be soft like the morning rain

 But don’t stop when I tell ya

 Turn your ear when I beg for you to leave

 Til you’ve taught me and I’ve learned from thee

Bridge

Oh trouble, do I hear my name

When you’re talking behind closed doors?

Is it debts unpaid of the money I’ve made

That brings you back once more?

Chorus

 Oh trouble be gentle when you bring me pain

 Oh trouble be soft like the morning rain

 But don’t stop when I tell ya

 Turn your ear when I beg for you to leave

 Til you’ve taught me and I’ve learned from thee

Interlude

[C ] [F ] (X’s 6)

All my life I’ve fought with you

Trying to make my way through

The pouring rain (X’s 2)
