The Rain
View chords used in this chart
For the intro and verses just play C and G
Its a little more complicated than that but
not much.
I was raised the northern way
and my farther had a northern name,
I did my crying out in the pouring rain.
And a season turned into another one,
I found a heart bright like the morning sun.
He touched my lips, so softly,
with his fingertips.
C C
I've kept the rain falling down on me
F G
all the time, all the time.
C C
I've kept the rain falling down on me
F G
all the time, all the time.
