[Intro]
D7 G
[Verse 1]
G C
Raindrops falling in the river
D7 G
Swallowed up forevermore
G C
As my love for you, my darling
D7 G G7
That's stranded far up on the shore
C G
Raindrops falling in the river
A7 D7
Tears are falling from my eyes
G C
That mean no more to you, my darling
D7 G
Than raindrops falling from the skies
[Guitar Solo]

D7 G
[Verse 2]
G C
The raindrops will go back to the sky, dear
D7 G
The river will join so many streams
G C
But there's no hope for me, my darling
D7 G G7
Nothing matters now, it seems
C G
A raindrop's nothing to a river
A7 D7
My heart is nothing, dear, to you
G C
'cause it's lost like many tiny raindrops
D7 G
That fall into a river blue
