Saddle In The Rain
John Prine

Intro:
[Em]

[Em]I wish, I hope, I wonder
Where you're at so[A]metimes
Is y[Em]our back against the wall?
Or just ac[A]ross the line
Have you been sta[Em]nding in the rain
Reciting nursery rh[A]ymes
Trying to re[Em]call some long lost kind of pe[A]ace of mind
Peace of m[D]ind
Try spending the n[G]ight sometime
All alone in a fr[D]ozen room
Afterneath you've l[A]ain
Your saddle in the r[Em]ain

[Em]I dreamed they locked God up
Down in my bas[A]ement
And he wai[Em]ted there for me
To have this acci[A]dent
So he could dr[Em]ink my wine
And eat me like a sacra[A]ment
And I just st[Em]ood there like I do
Then I came and w[A]ent
I came and w[D]ent
Like a bird in a for[G]eign sky
Couldn't even s[D]ay goodbye
Or come and share the p[A]ain
My Saddle's in the r[Em]ain.

[Em]I saw a friend who doesn't know
If I'm his fri[A]end just yet
His eyes and m[Em]outh were widely open
And his j[A]aw was set
Like he'd f[Em]ell off a cliff
And hadn't hit the bo[A]ttom yet
I wish he wo[Em]uldn't pull those things on me
Without a n[A]et
Without a n[D]et
I had him up to the ho[G]use one time
And we was having a re[D]al good time
Then he went and la[A]in
His saddle in the r[Em]ain

In a lau[Em]ndromat not too far from the Al[A]amo
Sits a g[Em]irl who stole my records very lo[A]ng ago
And she w[Em]ishes, wants and washes out those di[A]rty clothers
As she sh[Em]uts her eyes and dreams about her O[A]ne-Eyed Joe
One-Eyed J[D]oe
Car parked on a di[G]rty road
Heaven knows the lo[D]ad she pulled
Couldn't take the st[A]rain
A saddle in the r[Em]ain
