This is a guide on how to play the rains like henry jamison plays it live, such as in this performance:

During the chorus, the song has quite a complex and weird time signature so playing along might feel awkward.
I suggest using the chord progression as guideline and playing your own time signature.
Tuning: Standard
Capo 6th fret

--Standing in the doorway--
Bass plays Em F Em F but the guitar seems constant (F).
In the link above henry stays on F, only moves shortly to G and back
standing... singing 'I-me...'

--Lyrics--
Verse 1
And the trees blow around
In the gathering gale
As I loose my bloodhound
Upon the trail
And the rains came heavy from the north
And they were all outside
But I was not
I was in the kitchen looking out over the fields
Chorus
Standing in the doorway, the doorway
Watching the lightning and the trees sway
Singing “I-me-me-mine, I-me-me-mine”
Verse 2
And the rains came heavy from the north
They were in their little boats
But I was not
I was in bed
And I pillow bite
In my dream I sleepwalk
And I drink a beer
With Doris Day at the café down the block
So drink your beer
Drink your coffee
In the fear
Of the great nothing
Chorus
Standing in the doorway, the doorway
Watching the lightning and the trees sway
Singing “I-me-me-mine, I-me-me-mine”
Standing in the doorway, the doorway
Watching the lightning and the trees sway
Singing “I-me-me-mine, I-me-me-mine”
