Intro: D-D-D-D-G7-G7-D-D
Verse 1:
DCaroline, you're angry because you sleep like a spinster and you're twenty-eight
You've been G7thinking late, you couldn't catch Da cold
DBend your head double in the goose-down, piling all the pillows high
Heave your G7fiercest sigh and see if that'll Dwork
Chorus:
And the Araincoat that you Gwore when it Drained today
And the Araincoat that you Gwore when it Drained today
Transition:
DI think it only made it rain G7more
DI think it only made it G7rain the more
Verse 2:
And if the Dwater's all wicking up your pant-leg, better wear your britches tight
I should G7teach you right to be so down at Dheel
Going Doff half-cocked, not shot full of arrows from the cherubim
Oh, the G7nerve of them to not draw their Dbows
Chorus:
And the Araincoat that you Gwore when it Drained today
And the Araincoat that you Gwore when it Drained today
Transition:
DI think it only made it rain G7more
DI think it only made it G7rain the more
