Kentucky rain

[C]Seven lonely [G]days and a [C]dozen towns a[F]go,
I [C]reached out one [F]night and you were [C]gone.[C7]
[F]Don't know why you'd [G]run, what you're [C]running to or [Am]from,
[D7]all I know is I want to bring you [G7]home.

So I'm [C]walking in the [G]rain, [C]thumbing for a [F]ride on this
[C]lonely Ken[F]tucky [C]backroad.[C7]
I've [F]loved you much too [G]long and [C]my love's too [Am]strong
to [D7]let you go, never knowing what went [G7]wrong.[Fmaj7]

[D7]Kentucky rain keeps pouring [C]do[Bm]wn [Em]and up ahead's another [Am]town
[G]that [F]I'll [Em]go [F]walking [C]thru [Fmaj7]with the [C]rain in my [Em]shoes,[Am][Em][C]
[Am]searchin [Am7]for [F]you [G7]in the cold Kentucky [C]rain, [Em][F]
in the [G7]cold Kentucky [C]rain.

[C]Showed your photo[G]graph to some [C]old gray bearded [F]men
sitting [C]on a bench out[F]side a gen'ral [C]store.[C7]
They said "[F]Yes, she's been [G]here" but their [C]mem'ry wasn't [Am]clear,
was it [D7]yesterday, no, wait the day be[G7]fore.

So I [C]fin'ly got a [G]ride with a [C]preacher man who
[F]asked: "Where you [C]bound on such a dark [F]after[C]noon?"[C7]
As we [F]drove on thru the [G]rain as he l[C]istened
I ex[Am]plained and he [D7]left me with a prayer that I'd find [G7]you.[Fmaj7]

[D7]Kentucky rain keeps pouring [C]do[Bm]wn [Em]and up ahead's another [Am]town
[G]that [F]I'll [Em]go [F]walking [C]thru [Fmaj7]with the [C]rain in my [Em]shoes,[Am][Em][C]
[Am]searchin [Am7]for [F]you [G7]in the cold Kentucky [C]rain, [Em][F]
in the [G7]cold Kentucky [C]rain[Em][F], in the [G7]cold...

Bb
There's a man in New Orleans
Bb
Who plays rock and roll
Bb
He's a guitar man
Bb
With a great big soul
Bb
He lays down a beat
Bb
Like a ton of coal
Bb (Tacet) Bb7
He goes by the name of King Creole

Eb7
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Bb
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
F7
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Eb7 Bb
Like a hip shaking King Creole

Bb
When the king starts to do it
Bb
It's as good as done
Bb
He holds his guitar
Bb
like a tommy gun
Bb
He starts to growl
Bb
From way down his throat
Bb (Tacet)
He bends a string and "that's all she wrote"

Eb7
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Bb
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
F7
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Eb7 Bb
Like a hip shaking King Creole

Bb Bb
Well, he sings a song about a crowded hole
Bb Bb
He sings a song about a jelly roll
Bb Bb
He sings a song about pork and greens
Bb (Tacet)
He sings some blues about New Orleans

Eb7
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Bb
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
F7
You know he's gone, gone, gone

Well, he plays something evil
Bb
Then he plays something sweet

No matter what he plays
Bb
You got to get up on your feet
Bb
When he gets the rockin' fever
Bb
baby, heaven sakes
Bb (Tacet)
He don't stop playin' 'till his guitar breaks

You know he's gone, gone, gone

Known Only to Him

g d7 g c g
Known only to him are the great hidden secrets

I'll fear not the darkness when my flame shall dim

I know not what the future holds

But I know who holds the future

In this world of fear and doubt

On my knees I ask the question

Why a lonely, heavy cross I must bear

Then he tells me in my prayer

It's because I am trustworthy

He gives me strength far more than my share

Known only to him are the great hidden secrets
I'll fear not the darkness when my flame shall dim
I know not what the future holds
But I know who holds the future
It's a secret known only to Him
