D                      G                     D
I was born by a river, but it was paved with cement
     G                                            D
Yeah I was born by a river, but it was paved with cement
      A                                      G                       D
Still I stand out in that old dry river, and wish that I was soaking wet

1.Chorus:
G                  D     G                  D
Someday it's gonna rain, someday it's gonna pour
G                    D         C              G   D
Someday this old dry river, it well, won't be dry anymore

2.Verse:
D                              G                       D
I played in the orange groves, 'til they bulldozed the trees
  G                                                             D
I played in the orange groves, 'til they bulldozed down all the trees
    C                                     G                           D
Now I stand out in those dead stumps, and I smell the blossoms on the leaves

2.Chorus:
G                  D     G                  D
Someday it's gonna rain, someday it's gonna pour
G                 D           C        G    D
Someday those old dead trees, won't be dead anymore

3.Verse:
D                            G                    D
I fell in love with a woman, but she did not love me
        G                                           D
Well, I fell in love with you baby, but you did not love me
    C                                 G                        D
Now I'm as dry as that old river, and I'm as dead as those old trees

3.Chorus:
G                  D     G                  D
Someday it's gonna rain, someday it's gonna pour
G                D                     C       G         D
Someday this old heart of mine's gonna fall in love once more

G                  D     G                  D
Someday it's gonna rain, someday it's gonna pour
G                    D         C        G   D
Someday this old dry river, it won't be dry anymore
