Midnight Rain

[Intro, Slow Piano Blues Riff, Soft Cymbal Brushes] (Mmm… oh Lord…) The night is heavy, the rain don’t lie I hear the thunder, but I can’t cry [Verse 1, Soulful Vocal with Piano Lead] Whiskey on the table, shadows on the wall I’ve been waiting for your voice, but I don’t hear the call My heart keeps beating like a runaway train But the rhythm gets lost in the midnight rain [Chorus, Big Blues Belt, Piano + Gospel-Style Chords, Backing Harmonies] Sing me down, oh the blues again Wash my soul in the pouring rain Hold me close through the hurt and pain I’m alive in the blues, in the midnight rain [Instrumental Break, Piano Solo, Wailing Blues Guitar Accent] [Verse 2, Softer Dynamic, Emotional Build] Every note I’m singing, it’s a prayer I bleed Love don’t answer when it’s hope I need The bottle’s empty but the night’s still long So I’ll lay my sorrow in a broken song [Bridge, Gospel Blues Choir Layered, Piano Tremolo Rising] (Ooohhh, let me be free!) (Lord, hear the sound in me!) Chains of fire, chains of gold Blues the only truth I hold [Chorus, Maximum Emotion, Full Piano Chords, Soulful Wail] Sing me down, oh the blues again Wash my soul in the pouring rain Hold me close through the hurt and pain I’m alive in the blues, in the midnight rain [Outro, Stripped Back to Piano and Vocal, Smoky Fade] Whiskey’s gone, but the song remains I’m alive in the blues… In the midnight rain
