IN MY TIME OF NEED
JOAN BAEZ
DARK CHORDS ON A BIG GUITAR
-------------------------
This is my first attempt, so constructive feedback is definitely welcome. I think this
is more or less right, although I ve been playing transposed it three half steps higher,
so who knows! Either way, I love Joan s version of this song, and couldn t find the
chords anywhere, so here they are.
-------------------------
Will you comfort me in my time of need?
Can you take away the pain of a hurtful deed?
Cause when we need it most, there s no rain at all
And dust just settles right there on the fields
Will you say to me a little rain s gonna come?
When the sky can t offer none to me
I will come for you when my days are through
And I ll let your smile just off and carry me
Cause when the calm comes down
I ll take the truck on into town
And buy whatever we can t seem to grow
I work these hands till they bleed
Cause I got mouths to feed
I got fifteen dollars hid above the stove
Will you say to me a little rain s gonna come?
When the sky can t offer none to me
I will come for you when my days are through
And I ll let your smile just off and carry me
Cause it ain t like it was, oh back in those days
When everyone would offer up a hand
These old bones are worn, I ve grown tiresome
And I know my time is surely gonna come
Will you say to me a little rain s gonna come?
When the sky can t offer none to me
I will come for you when my days are through
And I ll 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?
It seems we had such little time for us
Will you say to me a little rain s gonna come?
When the sky can t offer none to me
I will come for you when my days are through
And I ll let your smile just off and carry me
