Subject: crd:The Forecast by Robert Cray
NOTE: There`s a simple rift played over the Gm7 that gives the song
its character. Don`t go on stage without it.
(Gm7)Coffee for my breakfast (C)shot of (Bb) whiskey on the (Gm7) side
(Gm7)It`s a dark and dreary morning with the (C) clouds covering
(Bb) up the (Gm7) sky
(CHORUS) (Gm7)the forecast calls for (C) pain, the forecast calls
for (Gm7)
My (Bb) baby`s turning cold and the (C) forecast (Bb) calls
for (Gm7) pain
We stayed up all night talking, she`s grown restless she confessed
She says there`s no one new, but deep down I know that`s next
(CHORUS)
(Bridge) She (C) says she tried and tried yes she (Gm7) has
but slowly her love has died
I can (C) see that deep down inside she`s (Gm7) changed
The forecast calls for (C) pain, the foreacst calls
for (Gm7) pain
The forecast calls for (C) pain, yeah, yeah, (Gm7) yeah
Play verse and chorus with lead
I can hear approaching thunder, I can feel chill run up my spine
I`ve seen love freeze before and I know I`m on borrowed time
(CHORUS)
(stay on the Gm7 here) I can feel the thunder, I can see the lightning
I can feel the pain, oh it`s gonna rain
(CHORUS) and end!
