Capo: 1
RAINING ON THE ROCK - John Williamson Transcribed by Daniel Schaumann <www.geocities.com/d_schaumann/> Raining On The Rock is in Drop-D tuning with a capo on the 1st fret, although it will be much less confusing if I do the transcription without taking the capo into account: INTRO: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-| A|2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|------------------------------------------------------2---2---0-| B|------------------------------------------------------3---3---0-| G|------------------------------------------------------2---2---0-| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-| A|2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---2-| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------0---0---2-----------------------2---2---0-| B|----------------------0---0---3-----------------------3---3---0-| G|----------------------0---0---2-----------------------2---2---0-| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-| A|2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2---2---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---2-| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------0---0---2---------------------------------| B|----------------------0---0---3---------------------------------| G|----------------------0---0---2---------------------------------| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-| A|2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2---2---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-| CHORD FORMATIONS: DADGBE D 000232 Em7/D 010000 NOTE: In the first verse & chorus, only the bottom three strings are strummed (as in the intro), but after the run-down full chords are used
DPastel red to burgundy and Em7/Dspinifex to gold, We've just come out of the mulga where the plains forever Droll. Where Albert Namatjira has Em7/Dpainted all the scenes, And a shower has changed the lustre of his Dland.
CHORUS:
And it's raining on the Em7/Drock, in a beautiful Dcountry, And I'm proud to travel Em7/Dthis big land like an AboriginDe. And it's raining on the Em7/Drock, what an almighty sight to Dsee. And I'm wishing on a Em7/Dpostcard that you were here with Dme.

DEverlasting daisies and a Em7/Dbeautiful desert rose, Where does their beauty come from, heaven Dknows. I could ask the wedgetail but Em7/Dhe's away too high, I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to Dfly.
CHORUS RUN-DOWN x2
It Dcannot be described with a Em7/Dpicture, The mesmerising colours of the DOlgas. Or the grandeur of the Em7/Drock, Uluru is Dpower!
