G C G
Oh, I wish it would rain and wash my face clean.
D
I want to find some dark clouds to hide in here.
G C G
Oh, love in a memory sparkles like diamonds.
D Em C
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears,
G D G
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears.
G C D Em G
Once I had a love from the Georgia pines who only cared for me.
C G Em D
I want to find that love of twenty-two here at thirty-three.
G C G D Em
I got a heart on my right and one on my left but neither suits my needs,
C G C G D G
'cause the one I love is way out west and he never will need me.
Chorus
G C G
I'm gonna pack up my two-steppin' shoes
D Em
and head for the Gulf Coast plains.
C G C G
I want to walk the streets of my old hometown
Em D
Where everybody knows my name.
G C G
I'm gonna ride the train down to Galveston
D Em
When the hurricanes blow in,
C G C G
'cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine
Em D G
when your heart's blowing home in the wind.
(Chorus)
