Dirty Rain
View chords used in this chart
E
Last time I was here it was raining
A E
It ain’t raining anymore
E
Streets were drowning and the water’s laming
A B
All the ruins washed ashore
C#m Abm
Now I am here just looking through the rubble
A E
Try to find out who we were
E
Last time I was here it was raining
A E
It ain’t raining anymore
Last time I was here you were waiting
You’re not waiting anymore
The window’s broke and the smoke’s escaping
The books scattered across the floor
And the churchbells are ringing through the sirens
Your coat was full of bulletholes
Last time I was here you were waiting
You’re not waiting anymore
A
So
A
May the wind blow
A
May the moonlight know your name
A
So
A
Let the needle pull the record ‘round
B
To the walls came in
You and I we’re out there dancing
E
In the dirty rain
Last time I was here it was raining
Like you have never seen it rain
And your eyes were filled with terror
And tears from the gasoline
As the stars exloding with gunfire
I saw you smiling just before
Last time I was here you were crying
You ain’t crying anymore
So
Let the moon now
May the moonlight know your name
So
Let the needle pull the record ‘round
To the walls came in
You and I we’re out there dancing
In the dirty rain
The dirty rain
