G                    
I whisper beautiful secrets into
                        C
The drainpipes at night
                                        G                                      
For the old folks while they're sleeping
NC                                        
Something to help them with their dreams


[Verse 2]
                                G                                
I climb the wall to the cemetery
NC                                 
Lay down on the grave of my father 
NC                                    
I hear him asking me for forgiveness
NC                            
So I close my eyes in prayer


[Chorus]
G                       C                                     
And then a rainy-rainy-rain falls down
G                       C                              
A cool rainy-rain upon my head
G                       C                                      
It makes the river overflow it's banks
F               C               G                                     
And wash my cares away to Sleepy-town


[Verse 3]                               
G                       C
I pour whiskey in the honeycomb
G                       C                                    
It makes the bees all turn to angels
G                       C                               
I watch 'em fly off into heaven

F                       C                              
Disappear where I can't follow
G                       C                               
And I would write Jesus a letter
G                       C                                         
But I hear that he don't speak English...
G                       C                                                                               
So instead I'll just throw these cobblestones 
F                       C
Until I ring that old church bell


[Chorus]                                    
G                       C
Until the rainy-rainy-rain fall down
G                       C                            
Cool rainy-rain upon my head
G                       C                                      
It makes the river overflow it's banks
F                       C                                     
And wash my cares away to Sleepy-town

G       C               G               D        
In Sleepy-town, you let the wild wind blow away your name
G               C               G       D               C                                        
In Sleepy town, you let the healing rain just wash your pain away


[Verse 4]
G                       C                              
I see a light on in the station
G                       C                                  
Yeah someone is waiting for a train
G                       C                            
And I envy them their leaving
F                       C                                 
As I turn to head back home again
G                       C                                  
For soon the morning sun will rise
G                       C                                            
And this little town will open up its eyes.
G                       C                                            
And return from the land where I've never been
F                       C                               
From a Sleepy-town, that's free


[Chorus]                                      
G                                       C
From all that  rainy-rainy-rain fall down
G                                       C                            
Cool rainy-rain upon my head
G                                       C                                      
It makes the river overflow it's banks
F                                       C                                     
And wash my cares away to Sleepy-town


G               C               G               D    
In Sleepy-town, you let the wild wind blow away your name
G               C               G               D               C                               
In Sleepy town, you let the healing rain just wash your pain away
