Am7 
I’m getting baptized by rain 
Gsus4 
Loving every second in the wide range 
F 
Dreams of living it big with a beautiful lady 
                                                  Am7 
With a well-trained dog and a love that’s steady enough 
Am7 
Thinking of you in that white sundress 
Gsus4 
Under that sun, over my head 
F 
Hoping one day I’ll hold your hand and on that finger is a gold band 


 
        Am7                       Gsus4 
But for now, you're cussin out my name 
                 F 
Lettin' out your rage 
F 
Make a fist, and you start to shove 
F 
Then I'll call the sheriff 
F 
You'll call my bluff 


     Am7                      Gsus4 
And oh, you scared me half to death 
                  F 
Had me holding my breath 
F 
But for now I'm in this range 
                   Am7   Gsus4    F 
Getting baptized by rain 
              Am7    Gsus4   F   Fsus2 
I'm baptized by rain 


Am7 
Wouldn't it be so damn nice 
   Gsus4 
To work today, and not work tonight 
       F 
And to make a living, and have some luck 
Fsus2 
Have some children, and make a buck with 
Am7 
Little ones running around 
    Gsus4 
And brand new shoes and a brand new house 
        F 
And I'll get you a brand new blouse 
    Fsus2                                 Am7 
And I'll be happy and you'll be proud, oh man 

 
                      Gsus4 
But that ain't how it goes 
                     F 
Look down and see my toes 
F 
Poking out of these worn old shoes 
F 
My face is red, my heart is blue 


     Am7              Gsus4 
And oh, I'm in tryin' times 
                  F 
Hurtin' to save a dime 
                   Fsus2 
But I push it all away 
                            Am7    Gsus4    Fsus2 
While I'm getting baptized by rain 
                  Am7     Gsus4    Fsus2 
Getting baptized by rain 


Am7 
Outside and away from shame 
Gsus4 
Think of gold streets and the better days 
    F 
And maybe I'll listen to what he says 
F 
And build a life on solid land 
         Am7 
And I'll hear the words from every tongue 
    Gsus4 
And I'll stand sure, then rise above 
     Fsus2 
I'll share his name, heed his call 
Fsus2 
Was my sin through it all 
  Am7                           Gsus4 
I realized I've been turning my back 
                      Fsus2 
With not much more to ask 
Fsus2 
Well, I wanted your mouth 
Fsus2 
I wanted that house 
                        Am7 
But it means nothing at all 



                        Gsus4 
So, I'll look to better days 
                      Fsus2 
Just filled with that grace 
Fsus2 
As I stand here amazed 
                  Am7     Gsus4    Fsus2 
Getting baptized by rain 
              Am7      Gsus4    Fsus2 
I'm baptized by rain

Baptized by rain 
                 Am7      Gsus4 
Oh I'm baptized by rain 
              Am7     Fsus2 
I'm baptized by rain 
                 Am7     Gsus4    Fsus2 
Oh I'm baptized by rain 
                   Am7 
Hmm, I'm baptized by 
          G            Fsus2 
Baptized by, baptized by 
Fsus2
