Will you say to me a [C/B]little rains gonna come
When the sky cant offer none to me
Cause I will come for you [C/B]When my days are through
And Ill let your smile just off and carry me

Cause when the calm comes down I take the truck on into town
And buy whatever we cant seem to grow
I work these hands to bleed
cause I got mouths to feed
And I got 15 dollars hid above the stove

Will you say to me a [C/B]little rains gonna come
When the sky cant offer none to me
Cause I will come for you [C/B]When my days are through
And Ill let your smile just off and carry me

Cause it ain’t like it was on back in those days
When everyone would offer up a hand
These old bones are worn
I’ve grown tired some
And I know my time is surely gonna come

Will you comfort me [C/B]in my time of need
Can you take away the pain of hurtful deeds
Cause I will comfort you w[C/B]hen my days are through
And Ill let your smile just off and carry me

Lord we married young and stayed where we came from
And gave those children everything we had
Will you stay with me in my time of need
Though it seems we had such little time for us

Will you say to me a [C/B]little rains gonna come
When the sky cant offer none to me
Cause I will come for you [C/B]When my days are through
And Ill let your smile just off and carry me

Ryan Adams My Winding Wheel written by Ryan Adams

Will night time let her through

Yeah I’m talking to you
Wanna see her
Precious little thing

With eyes that dance around
Without their clothes
So buy a pretty dress
[Db/C]Wear it out tonight
For anyone you think
Could outdo me
Oh better [Db/C]still
Be my winding wheel
Cause I feel just like a map
Without a single place to go of interest
And I’m further north than south

If I could shut my mouth
She’d probably like this
So buy a pretty dress
[Db/C]Wear it out tonight
For all the boys who think
Could outdo me
Oh better [Db/C]still
Be my winding wheel
Be my winding wheel

SOLO

Well children laugh and sing
A song that ushers in her driving rain
And I’m standing in the station

Like some old record waiting
On a train
So buy a pretty dress
[Db/C]Wear it out tonight
For anyone you think
Could outdo me
Oh better s[Db/C]till
Be my winding wheel
Be my winding wheel
Be my winding wheel
