Verse 1:

A               C    A                 F              A
 It's raining a-gain; I'm hearing it's pitter-patter, down.
                C      A               F                    B7
It's wet in the street; reflecting the lights and splashing feet.
           C  B7             C           Cmaj7
Nowhere to go, and nothing I have to do, have to do.

Verse 2:

A               C    A             F                      A
 It's raining a-gain; I follow the Christmas lights, down town.
                C    A                  C           Cmaj7
I'm leaving the flow, of people walking all around, round and round.

Chorus 1:

           D                      F#m
I hear the sound of rain, falling in my ears,
C                       G
 Washing away the weari-ness, like tears.
D                       F#m
 I can feel my troubles running down;
C                   G
 Disappear into the silent sound.

Verse 3:

A               C    A               F                           A
 Just walking a-long; my clothes are soaked right through to the skin.
            C     A                  F             B7
I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all a-bout;
                C     B7                      C        Cmaj7
The sun and the rain, scraps of paper washing down the drain.

Chorus 2:

  D                      F#m
I feel the rain, falling on my face,
C                      G
 I can say there is no better place.
D                         F#m
 Than standing up, in the falling down,
C                         G
 In so much rain, I could almost drown.

F#  Bm, E7, F#  Bm  D  E7  F#  Dm

Verse 4:

A               C    A               F                   A
 It's raining a-gain; a crack in the clouds reveals blue skies.
                     C   A              F              B7
I've been feeling so low, but now every-thing is on my side;
                C     B7                    C       Cmaj7
The sun and the rain, walk with me; fill my heart a-gain.

Chorus 3:

  D                      F#m
I hear the rain, falling in my ears,
C                       G
 Washing away the weari-ness, like tears.
D                       F#m
 I can feel my troubles running down;
C                   G
 Disappear into the silent sound.
