[Verse 1]
D                   A       G              D
He prays for the harvest to bring a record year
G                    D
Five generations counting
       G                 A
On his work out in these fields
    Bm           G            D            G
The only life he knows is the soil that he tills
Em                       D
And if the drought don’t take it all
   G                A
He knows the banker will

[Chorus]
     D             G       A Bm
He's waiting for a rain of angels
   G                D
To turn these dusty acres
     G            A
Back to a fertile plain
  D            G     A  Bm
Reward him for   his la-bor
        G
Put his life back in his hands
     Em            A       C  G  D
He's waiting for a rain of a—-n--gels

[Verse 2]
                 A
Some were in the city
       G            D
In the hours before dawn
    G                  D
She huddles in the doorway
   G                A
To dream her hunger gone
   Bm                 G
Forgotten by the cold world
D                 G
Frightened by her own
Em                      D
  She sips a little whiskey
      G           A
To forget she is alone

[Chorus]
      D             G       A Bm
She's waiting for a rain of angels
   G                    D
To lift her from the shadows
   G                 A
To give her back her name
D         G       A Bm
Turn back all the pages
         G
Give her shelter from the storm
      Em            A       C  G  D
She's waiting for a rain of a—-n--gels

[Bridge]
        C                                 D
And the places where the battle lines are drawn
         C
When the bullets fly
                       D
It doesn't matter what side your standing on
         Em              D
Give the farmer back his land
         G                 D
Pull the helpless from the streets
         Em              D
Take the guns out of our hands
    C                             A
And we will be within the angel's reach

[Solo]

D         G           A   Bm
Call down through the age-es
G
Wash away the pain
     D
Only love will remain

[Chorus]
          Em      D
We're all waiting for
      D             A       C  G  D
Still waiting for a rain of a-—n--gels
                    C    G    D      C G D
Still waiting for a rain   of angels
C             G       D      C  G  D
Waiting for a rain of angels
              C    G  D
Waiting for a rain of angels
