Gene Clark The Rain Song written by Gene Clark
Em C
Today the rain came down again
Em
And washed away the light
C
So night could then descend
G
I saw your face again
Bm
The rains came down today
Am C
The things we had to say were also washed away
G Bm
Again that was yesterday
Am
And though I feel the same
C
I can't go back again
Em C Em C
Ooh The rain
Em C
Oh I had that dream again
Em
In the hour before the dawn
C
And I don't know what it means
G
But I saw your face again
Bm
The rains came down today
Am C
The things we had to say were also washed away
G Bm
Again that was yesterday
Am C
And though I feel the same I can't go back again
Em
Because the rain is gone it's gonna come another day
C Em C Em
Ooh the rain
From the "Firebyrd" LP Takoma Records 1984
