SOFT GEORGIA RAIN (Gabe Zander/BMI) 2003

(uptempo waltz beat)

     G                       C            G            G        D            G
As I lie on the floor, and I drift off to sleep, I can hear the soft Georgia rain;
       G                          C           G      G            D             G
As the drops fall outside, one by one, in the night, each seem to call out your name.
        G                          C           G          G         D             G
As they dampen the Earth, like you dampened my lips, with yours, so briefly, last night,
    G                     C            G             G         D            G
The thundering skies echo ten thousand lies, as they break the still of the night.

(chorus):
         C                   G                          G                D
And with each drop, I hear, another falling tear; I can feel the undying pain,
        G                      C        G                   G               D            G
Felt in one perfect world of a Tennesse girl, and passed to me through that soft Georgia rain.

(break)

After you kissed my lips for the fist and last time, while we cried to each other last night,
I didn't remember much, except the feel of your touch, and that it was raining outside.
So I left Tennessee with my heart in my hand, and ended up in some small Georgia town,
And when I first stepped outside, from that four-hour ride, the same storm had followed me down.

(chorus)
(break)

Now that you've blown my mind, I've got nothing to say, except that I've lost the best thing I had;
If I'd never been born, I bet I'd still have the storm, and things wouldn't have turned out so bad.
But considering you, for just one moment's time, did you go back to feeling the same,
Or did you come, my dear, just to follow me here, and cry out in that soft Georgia rain?

(chorus)
