A              E  A E A
Hold back the rain
           E               A
Yes we're miles away from nowhere
         E                   A
And the wind doesn't have a name
    E                A
So call it what you want to call it
   E                  A
Still blows down the lane

Chorus:
D           E
And if the fires burn out
        C              G    D  
there's only fire to blame
(hold back the rain)
No time for worry cause
we're on the roam again
(hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter
and we ride the outside lane
(hold back the rain)
Not on your own so help me
please hold back the rain

Okay go off and wander
I'm guilty just the same
Sometimes you're needed badly
So please come back again

Chorus - x2

Hold back the rain, hold back the rain.
hold back the rain
Hold back the rain (hold back the rain),
hold back the rain
(Hold back the rain), hold back the rain
(hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain (hold back the rain),
hold back the rain
