Delta Rain

| G | F* | G | F* | | G | F* | G | F* | G C Thunder’s up and the real live wires are talking, G C set me straight as the rain falls on New Orleans. G C Silver bells ring for treaties made by starlight, G C for Southern girls and their faces lit by fire-flies . D C G And through the gutters there will be water, running wilder than the D C G sea and as the rain comes down, a thousand circles fade like you and me. D C G They cal us lovers because our bony legs are tied. Once more to seed D C Em D but there ain’t nothing, I won’t risk to set this bird of love fly free. G F* Shake your hair out and come and dance with me, G F* we are lonely with no good need to be. G F* Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea, G F* floods the delta and lovers’ eyes can see. G C Tonight is hot and there’s no wind from the ocean, G C I hear the drums as they bang across the water. G C Voodoo bells ring for treaties made by starlight, G C forgotten gold and greed and fear at midnight. D C G And through the gutters there will be water, running wilder than the D C G sea and as the rain comes down, a thousand circles fade like you and me. D C G They cal us lovers because our bony legs are tied. Once more to seed D C Em D but there ain’t nothing, I won’t risk to set this bird of love fly free. G F* Shake your hair out and come and dance with me, G F* we are lonely with no good need to be. G F* Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea, G F* floods the delta and lovers’ eyes can see. Em C G F Do you remember how we held each other tight in sorrow, C F G G does it haunt you still? Em C G F And in a single raindrop I can see all our tomorrows, C F G G baby, can’t you too? G F* Shake your hair out and come and dance with me, G F* we are lonely with no good need to be. G F* Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea, G F* floods the delta and lovers’ eyes can see. G F* Shake your hair out and come and dance with me, G F* we are lonely with no good need to be. G F* Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea, G F* floods the delta as wide eyes can see. End-Chorus (Repeat and Fade Out) G F* Shake your hair out and come and dance with me, G F* I am lonely with no good need to be. G F* Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea, G F* floods the delta and lovers’ eyes can see.
