Coming Down in the Rain - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
This jewel was first captured and recorded by the norwegian duo "Eriksen" in 1992 for their first album "Two Blue", and then made famous by Nancy Griffith the following year. Mondlock himself waited until '98, when it appeared on "Poetic Justice".
G G7 C ... Am
flipped into the wind like the ashes of her cigarette
D D7 G ...D7
he got scattered and thrown to the breeze as he tried to forget
G G7 C ... Am
he lost all his heat and his heart never will be the same
D D7 G
he got lighter than air but he'll only come down in the rain
G Em C ...Am
coming down in the rain washing out of the sky
C D D7 G ...D7
loaded down with the pain there ain't no way to fly
G G7 C ...Am
you can read him as clear as the wall where he once wrote his name
D D7 G
it was right next to hers but will only come down in the rain
