"I'M NO STRANGER TO THE RAIN"
Keith Whitley
written by Sonny Curtis/Ron Hellard

Also performed by Joe Diffie on _Keith_Whitley_:_A_Tribute_Album_

1st verse:
E
I'm no stranger to the rain
A
I'm a friend of thunder
E
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
B
I've fought with the devil
D
Got down on his level
A B
But I never gave in, so he gave up on me

2nd verse:
I'm no stranger to the rain
I can spot bad weather
And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour
I've been sacrificed by brothers
Crucified by lovers
But through it all I withstood the pain
B E
I'm no stranger to the rain

Bridge:
A
But when I get that foggy feeling
E
When I'm feeling down
A E
If I don't keep my head up, I may drown
B
But it's hard to keep believing
D
I'll even come out even
A B
While the rain beats your hope in the ground
D B
And the night is really coming down

3rd verse:
I'm no stranger to the rain
But there'll always be tomorrow
And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine
And I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
I'm no stranger to the rain
Oh no, I'm no stranger to the rain

(solo)
