Intro: D-D-D-D-G7-G7-D-D
verse 1:
D
Caroline, you're angry because you sleep like a spinster and you're twenty-eight
G7 D
You've been thinking late, you couldn't catch a cold
D
Bend your head double in the goose-down, piling all the pillows high
G7 D
Heave your fiercest sigh and see if that'll work
Chorus:
A G D
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today
A G D
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today
Transition:
D G7
I think it only made it rain more
D G7
I think it only made it rain the more
verse 2:
D
And if the water's all wicking up your pant-leg, better wear your britches tight
G7 D
I should teach you right to be so down at heel
D
Going off half-cocked, not shot full of arrows from the cherubim
G7 D
Oh, the nerve of them to not draw their bows
[Refrão]
A G D
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today
A G D
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today
Transition:
D G7
I think it only made it rain more
D G7
I think it only made it rain the more
