^A It's raining a-^Cgain;^A I'm hearing it's ^Fpitter-patter, ^Adown. It's wet in the ^Cstreet;^A reflecting the ^Flights and splashing ^B7feet. Nowhere to ^Cgo,^B7 and nothing I ^Chave to do, ^Cmaj7have to do.

Verse 2:

^A It's raining a-^Cgain;^A I follow the ^FChristmas lights, down ^Atown. I'm leaving the ^Cflow,^A of people walking ^Call around, ^Cmaj7round and round.

Chorus 1:

I hear the ^Dsound of rain, falling ^F#min my ears, ^C Washing away the weari-^Gness, like tears. ^D I can feel my troubles ^F#mrunning down; ^C Disappear into the ^Gsilent sound.

Verse 3:

^A Just walking a-^Clong;^A my clothes are ^Fsoaked right through to the ^Askin. I haven't a ^Cdoubt,^A that this is what ^Flife is all a-^B7bout; The sun and the ^Crain, ^B7scraps of paper washing ^Cdown the ^Cmaj7drain.

Chorus 2:

I ^Dfeel the rain, falling ^F#mon my face, ^C I can say there is no ^Gbetter place. ^D Than standing up, in the ^F#mfalling down, ^C In so much rain, I could ^Galmost drown.

Interlude: F# Bm, E7, F# Bm D E7 F# Dm Verse 4:

^A It's raining a-^Cgain;^A a crack in the ^Fclouds reveals blue ^Askies. I've been feeling so ^Clow,^A but now every-^Fthing is on my ^B7side; The sun and the ^Crain, ^B7walk with me; fill my ^Cheart a-^Cmaj7gain.

Chorus 3:

I ^Dhear the rain, falling ^F#min my ears, ^C Washing away the weari-^Gness, like tears. ^D I can feel my troubles ^F#mrunning down; ^C Disappear into the ^Gsilent sound.

*KEY CHANGE* ------------ Chorus 4:

I ^Efeel the rain, falling ^G#mon my face, ^D I can say there is no ^Abetter place. ^E Than standing up, in the ^G#mfalling down, ^D In so much rain, I could ^Aalmost drown.

Chorus 5:

^E Do de do, do de, ^G#mdo do do, ^D Do de do de do de, ^Ado do do. ^E Do de do, do de, ^G#mdo do do, ^D Do de do de do de, ^Ado do do.
