Tuning: standard

Intro: G A C G 2x

Verse:
[G]Well the wind blows hard u[A]pon weepin' will hair and [C]the red buds
sway in the[G] breeze/ [G]And if you listen real close [A]you can hear the
distant cry of a[C] broken man on his kne[G]es.

Chorus:
[C]And the rain beats hard on a p[G]oor man's head
[C]And the wind blows the nails out of the [G]tin roof of shame
A C G (A little hammer on pull
And the water keeps on risin at the old homestead ...off on the A string)

Verse:
[G]Well if the corns knees high by the[A] fourth of July and Mother[C] Nature
smiles on us [G]all/ A[G]nd there's a ring around the moon and t[A]hat means
rain is comin' soon and [C]we'll have a good harvest this fal[G]l.

Chorus:
[C]And the rain beats hard on a p[G]oor on man's head
[C]And the wind blows the nails out of the [C]tin roof of shame
[A]And the moon keeps on shinin[C] at the old homestea[G]d

Verse:
[G]Well the wind blows through the [A]wheat field at night and it[C] plays a
lonely tu[G]ne/ A[G]nd the bones clatter in the trees waving e[A]ndless summer
breeze/ Well there ain't[C] nothin like Lee County in Jun[G]e

Chorus:
[C]And the rain beats hard on a [G]poor man's head
[C]And the wind blows the nails out of the [G]tin roof of shame
[A]And the river keeps on flowin[C] at the old homestea[G]d
