Take This Rain words & music by Jackson Browne from the CD I'm Alive
Intro G6 C D x 2
G C D
It used to be there were two sets of footprints in the sand
G C D
And there were two silhouettes in the sunset hand in hand
C D G G/F# C/E
But now here beside the sea are the footprints of three
D
And I can't find my own among the directions they're all going
G C D
Baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness
G C D
It's alright take this rain as your new address
C D C D
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain
G C D
'cause I've been running all over creation out of my mind
G C D
Trying to keep our hearts beating together all of the time
C D G G/F# C/E
Going crazier every day watching our love slipping away
D
'cause you're the only home I've ever wanted and the only light I've known
G C D
But baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness
G C D
It's alright take this rain as your new address
C D C D
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain
G
You're going to be free

C F G C
Some people go through life seeing just what they want to see
Am Em F G
Take the way I went on believing you might still believe in me
C F G C
And I still want the love I always thought our love could be
Bb F D
But some things can't be changed take this rain
G C D
You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name
G C D
And know my love and my desperation are one in the same
C D G G/F# C/E
And where our footprints used to be there'll be nothing but the sea
D
And the tide and the wind and the open sky and the unbroken horizon
G C D
Baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness
G C D
It's alright take this pain and all your sadness
C D C D
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain
C D G C D
It's alright take this rain you're going to be free
G6 C D
At the intro & the end the G6 to C is an almost immediate change & C is played for about 2 measures & the
in the intro,verse,chorus & end is played (if you want to)as you hammer on the 1st finger on the 2nd fret,
string.
