I really love this song and the other version out there didn't completely match the acoustics that Allen plays, so I listened/watched/learned it and thought I would share it. video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rARxpN6EDxQ Chords (names may not be correct)

Here is the basic framing of the chords between the three verses: Verse 1: (Tab Bars Found Below) C#m7, G#m F#m7 oh well i can’t stop rain > Tab Bar 1 B7, Bsus2 Emaj7 but i will keep you dry > Tab Bar 2 C#m7, G#m f#m7 when the shore feels far away > Tab Bar 1 B7, Bsus2 Emaj7 baby i’ll be by your side > Tab Bar 3 C#m7, G#m F#m7 G#7 when the storms arise, boo boo boo > Tab Bar 1/4
G#7dear well i will shelterC#m7 you B7 Amaj7 > Tab Bar 5 Amaj7cause when your sky is F#m7gray B7 > Tab Bar 5/1
B7i will give you blue E E6 E > Strumming patterns that are simple
**Progression repeats except for last part of lyrics (I show it down below where it changes) Verse 2: i can’t move a mountain | cause i am just a man | no i can’t undo what’s happened | but i will understand | and although it may hurt | baby i’ll tell you the truth | when your sky is gray | Same Pattern i will give you blue | | Verse 3: | | well i cant stop the rain | but i will wipe your tears | i wish i could take what hurts you | and just make it disappear | but i can’t work no miracles | but i do what i can do boo boo boo |

TABS For the plucking, he uses 3 fingers(thumb, index, middle), but I use 4 (the thumb, index, middle, and ring) because I can't always tell which strings he is plucking with his index and middle - using 4 fingers covers all of the possibilities and gives it a full sound. There is lots of syncopation that I will try to describe with the rhythms above the tabs. I will also be refering to each section as a Tab Bar to refer back. ** Parenthesies with number (#) = rest or not counted ** V = tap/slap/palm mute (it will be above the rhythms-usually over beat 3) Tab Bar 1: V V Rhythm: 1 (&) 2 & (3&)4 & 1 (&) 2 & (3&)4 & 1 (&) 2 &... repeated e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------4h5------4---------------0---------0------------------0----------0-------0--| He changes the G|-------4--------6---------------2---------2------------------2----------2-------2--| rhythm for F#m7 D|-------6--------4h6-------------2---------2------------------2----------2-------2--| everytime he A|-------4--------4------------------------------------------------------------------| plays it E|--------------------------------2-----2---------2-0-2-----2--------2-0--2-----2----| "Oh well I can't stop the rain" ***Sometimes he hammers on the E string 0h2*** Tab Bar 2: V V 1(&)2 &(3&)4 & 1(&)2 &(3&)4 & 1(&)2 &... e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----4-------2---------------4--------------4-------------4--------------------| G|----2-------4--------4------4----4-4-4-----4----4-4-4----4--------------------| D|----4-------4--------6------6----6-4-6-----6----6-4-6----6--------------------| A|-0--2-------2--------7---7-------7-7-7---7------7-7-7--7----------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| "But I will keep you dry" Tab Bar 1: "When the shore feels far away" Tab Bar 3: V V 1(&)2 &(3&)4/& 1(&)2 &(3&)4/& 1(&)2 &... e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----4-------2---------------4--------------4----------------4------------------| He alternates the 4/6 slide G|----2-------4--------4------4--------------4----------------4------------------| & the xx467x/xx447x/xx467x D|----4-------4--------6------6--------------6----------------6------------------| pattern from bar 2 A|----2-------2--------7---7------4/6--7---7------4/6--7---7---------------------| for the Emaj7 chord E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| "Baby i’ll be by your side" Tab Bar 1: "When the storms arise" Tab Bar 4: V V 1(&)2 &(3&)4(&)1(&)2 & (3&)4(&) e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------4------4----4---4------4---4--------------------------------------| G|-------5------5----5---5------5---5--------------------------------------| D|-------4------4----4---4------4---4--------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------4----4------4---4----4-----4--------------------------------------| "boo boo boo dear well i will shelter you..."

He does so many different things. (also he does like this double percussive tap on the guitar for when he is slapping/muting, and I have no idea if its from the amp or if he is doing something to mix it. if you figure it out, please comment). ************************************ | h Hammer-on | / Slide up | t Tapping | s Slap | PM Palm mute ************************************
