In My Time of Need

Song

Seen this lots of places wrongly transcribed with D instead of F and no Am in the chorus.

Here's how it should be, this is a truly great song:

Play all chords, including the F, as open.

Will you (F) comfort (C) me in my (F) time of (C) need

Take (F) away the (C) pain and hurtful (G) deed

Cause when we (F) need it (C) most there's no (F) rain at all (C)

The (F) dust just settles (C) right there on the (G) field

Chorus

Will you (Am) say to (C) me, little (F) rain's gon' (C) come

When the (F) sky can't (C) offer none to (G) me

Cause I will (Am) comfort (C) you when my (F) days are (C) through

And I'll (F) let your smile just (C) off and carry (G) me

Cause when the calm comes down

I take the truck on into town

And buy whatever we can't seem to grow

Work these hands to bleed

Cause I got mouths to feed

And I got fifteen dollars hid above the stove

Chorus

Cause it ain't like it was

On back in those days

When everyone would offer up a hand

These old bones are worn

I've grown tired son

I know my time is surely gonna come

Chorus

Lord we married young

Stayed where we come from

And gave those children everything we had

Will you stay with me

In my time of need

Though it seems we had such little time for love
