[Verse]

Dm
My name is Yami Lester
C
I hear I talk I touch but 

I am blind
Dm
My story comes from darkness
C
Listen to my story now unwind
Dm
This is a rainy land
 
Dm
First we heard two big bangs
C
We thought it was the great 

snake digging holes
Dm
Then we saw the big cloud
C
Then the big black mist began to roll
Dm
This is a rainy land
 
Dm
A strangeness on our skin
C
A soreness in our eyes 

like weeping fire
Dm
A pox upon our skin
C
A boulder on our backs 

all our lives
Dm
This is a rainy land
 
[Chorus]

Dm
This is a rainy land
Dm
No thunder in our sky
Dm
No trees stretching high
Dm
But this is a rainy land
 
[Verse]

Dm
My name is Millipuddy
C
They captured me and 

roughly washed me down
Dm
Then my child stopped kicking
C
Then they took away my man to town
Dm
They said do you speak English?
 
[Bridge]

 
He said
Dm
I know that Jesus loves me 

I know
Dm
Because the bible tells me so

I know that Jesus loves me 

I know
Dm
Because the bible tells me so
 
[Chorus]

Dm
This is a rainy land
Dm
This is a rainy land
