[chorus]
[C]Oh, I wish it would [G]rain, wash my [C]face [G]clean
I wanna find some dark clouds to hide in [D7]here
Love and [G]memory, it sparkles like [C]dia[G]monds
When the [C]diamonds [G]fall, they burn like [Em]tears [C]
When the diamonds [G]fall, [D7]burns like [G]tears
[Opening]
[G]Once I had a love from the [C]Georgia [G]pines
Who [D7]only cared for [Em]me
Gonna [G]find that love of 22, here at thirty [D7]three
Got a [G]heart on my right and [C]one on my [G]left
But [D7]neither suits my [Em]needs
Cause the [G]one I want is way out west
And he [D7]never will need [G]me
[chorus]
Oh, I wish it would [G]rain, wash my [C]face [G]clean
I wanna find some dark clouds to hide in [D7]here
Oh, the love and [G]memory, it sparkles like [C]dia[G]monds
When the [C]diamonds [G]fall, they burn like [Em]tears [C]
When the diamonds [G]fall, [D7]burns like [G]tears
[Closing]
[G]Gonna pack up my [C]two-stepping [G]shoes
And [D7]head for the Gulf Coast[Em]plains
Wanna [G]walk the streets of my hometown
Where everybody knows my [D7]name
Gonna [G]ride the train down to [C]Galva[G]ston
Where the [D7]hurricanes blow [Em]in
Cause that [G]Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine
When your [D7]heart’s blowing home in the [G]wind
[chorus]
Oh, I wish it would [G]rain, wash my [C]face [G]clean
I wanna find some dark clouds to hide in [D7]here
Oh, the love and [G]memory, it sparkles like [C]dia[G]monds
When the [C]diamonds [G]fall, they burn like [Em]tears [C]
When the diamonds [G]fall, [D7]burns like [G]tears
[chorus]
Oh, I wish it would [G]rain, wash my [C]face [G]clean
I wanna find some dark clouds to hide in [D7]here
Oh, the love and [G]memory, it sparkles like [C]dia[G]monds
