Carpenter Mary Chapin
Intro: (F-C-Gm-Gm7)-(F-C-Gm-Gm7)
[F] I can hear the r[C]ain come down,[Gm] I can listen [Gm7]with my heart
[F] I can see with b[C]oth eyes closed [Gm]in the dark[Gm7]
[Bb] Sleep will come in just a while but till it does I choose
F Dm Bb<span style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
To listen to the rain, it's the rhythm of the blues<span style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
[F] I walk along these st[C]reets of home [Gm] that once belonged to [Gm7]us
[F] And now baby [C]I walk a[Gm]lone and I am lo[Gm7]st
[Bb] In the sound of my own footsteps on the avenues
I guess I[F]'m only walking [Dm] to rhythm [Bb]of the blues
[Am] I don't wa[Dm]nna hear a[Bb]nother w[C]ord spoken[Am], I don't w[Dm]anna see an[Bb]other tear s[C]hed
[Am] I can'[Dm]t seem to f[Bb]ix what's b[C]roken,[Eb] like this record baby [Bb]in my head
Instrumental: (F-C-Gm-Gm7)-(F-C-Gm-Gm7)
[F-Bb] Lonely looks as bad on me as [F-Bb] lonely looks on you
And st[Dm]ill we keep [F]on mov[C]ing [Dm] to the r[Am]hythm [Bb]of the blues[F-Bm]
[F] I want a pl[C]ace to call my own, [Gm] you have never b[Gm7]een
[F] I wanna look ar[C]ound and know you w[Gm]on't be coming b[Gm7]ack again
[Bb] On some pretense paper-thin that I can see right through
You come and g[F]o baby, [Dm] like the rhythm [Bb]of the blues
You come and go baby,[Dm] like the rhythm [Bb]of the blues
You come and go baby,[Dm] like the rhythm [Bb]of the blues...
