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