[Intro]
G D F C

[Verse]
G D
First day in August
F C
Last rain was in May
G D
When the rainmaker came to Kansas
F C
In the middle of a dusty day

[Verse]
G D
The rainmaker said to the people
F C
"Tell me what you are prepared to pay"
G D
The rainmaker said to the people
F C
"Well, I'll conjure up a rain today"

[Chorus]
G C F
Ninety degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady
G F C
Hundred and ten in the hot sun
G C F
Heat from the street burned the feet of the ladies
F G
See how they run

[Verse]
G D
Called down the lightning
F C
By a mystical name
G D
Then the rainmaker called on the thunder
F C
And suddenly it began to rain
G D
Then the rainmaker passed his hat to the people
F C
But the people all turned away
G
Then the rainmaker's eyes
D
And the Kansas skies
F C
Both became a darker grey

[Interlude]
G C F
G F C
G C F G

[Verse]
A E
