CAPO 1


[Verse]

Bm
She cried to the southern wind
           F#m
'bout a love that was sure to end.
 Em
Every dream her heart was gone,
                  Bm
heading for a     showdown.


[Verse]

Bm
Bad dreamer what's your name?
          F#m
It's like we're riding on the same train
 Em
Looks as though there'll be more pain,
                  Bm
there's gonna be a showdown.


[Chorus]

           F#m                  Em
And it's a raining all over the world,
     F#m              Fm   Em
it's raining all over the world,
          (523200)
F#7        F#7+9     Bm
tonight the longest night.

She came to me like a friend,

There's gonna be a showdown.

Save -              me,

oh, save -            me.

There's gonna be a showdown.
