Song Chords:
D F#m
Turning tricks on sunset, twenty bucks a pop
Bm G
Some out of town old business man or an undercover cop
D Bm
I'm living with a virus flowing way down in my veins
G D
Oh I wish it would rain
D F#m
I know you've heard my story or seen me on the street
Bm G
Just another cracker gigolo dressed up like trick or treat
D Bm
Now you may want to judge me or treat me with disdain
G D
Oh I wish it would rain
G
Memphis, Texas; Houston, Tennesee
D
Man I'm just so turned around I don't know where I want to be
G
This California desert is driving me insane
D G
Oh I wish it would rain
D F#m
So I've squandered my resistance, taking any kind of drug
Bm G
I'd smoke or shoot or eat it, I'd drink it from a jug
D Bm
I offer no excuses for your sympathies to gain
G D
Oh I wish it would rain
G
Everybody knows me as the kid
D
I've made it seven years still I don't know how I did
G
I come from a long line of live and love in vain
D G
Oh I wish it would rain
D F#m
So I've prayed to mother Mary, I've even seen a priest
Bm G
When the angels come to get me, I know I'll be released
D
I'll leave this mean old desert bound for Memphis on that train
G D
Oh I wish it would rain (X2)
