[verse 1]
F#                                    C#
 Parched crops dying 'neath a dead sun
F#                                  C#
 We've been praying but no good comes
F#                                   C#
 The dog's howling, home's stripped bare
F#                                    C#  F#  C#
 We've been worried but now we're scared

[verse 2]
F#                                    C#
People come for comfort or just to come
          F#                                  C#
Taste the dark sticky potion or hear the drums
F#                                           C#
Hands raised to Yahweh to bring the rain down
         F#
He comes crawlin' 'cross

the dry fields like a dark shroud

[chorus]
F#
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
F#
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
F#
Rainmaker, take evеrything you have
    F#
Sometimes folks need to bеlieve
                     B         Bsus4
in something so bad, so bad, so bad
               F#          F#
They'll hire a rainmaker (rainmaker)

[verse 3]
F#                                            C#
 Rainmaker says white's black and black's white
F#                              C#
 Says night's day and day's night
F#                                      C#
 Says close your eyes and go to sleep now
         F#
I'm in a burnin' field unloadin'

buckshot into low clouds

[chorus]
F#
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
F#
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
F#
Rainmaker, take evеrything you have
    F#
Sometimes folks need to bеlieve
                     B         Bsus4
in something so bad, so bad, so bad
               F#          F#
They'll hire a rainmaker (rainmaker)

[bridge]
B                Bsus4
Slow moving wagon drawing through a dry town
F#
Painted rainbow, crescent moon and dark clouds
B              Bsus4
Brother patriot come forth and lay it down
F#
Your blood brother for king
          F#
and crown for your rainmaker

[instrumental]
F#

[verse 4]
          F#                               C#
They come for the smile, the firm handshake
          F#                                C#
They come for the raw chance of a fair shake
             F#                       C#
Some come to make damn sure, my friend
          F#                                  C#
This mean season's got nothin' to do with them
     F#                                   C#
They come 'cause they can't stand the pain
           F#                     C#
Of another long hot day of no rain
  F#                                  C#
'Cause they don't care or understand
        F#
What it really takes
                           B
for the sky to open up the land

[chorus]
F#
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
F#
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
F#
Rainmaker, take evеrything you have
F#
 Sometimes folks need to bеlieve
                     B         Bsus4
in something so bad, so bad, so bad
               F#
They'll hire a rainmaker
F#
 Rainmaker
F#
 Rainmaker
