1.   It's raining again,      I'm hearing it's pitter-patter, down,

                              C    - A                         F                              B7

    it's wet in the street,        reflecting the lights and splashing feet.

                        C   - B7                          C

    Nowhere to go,          and nothing I have to do, have to do.

 

A                       C    - A                         F                              A

    It's raining again,       I follow the Christmas lights, down town,

                              C   - A                               C

    I'm leaving the flow       of people walking all around, round and round.

 

                   D                          F#m

I hear the sound of rain, falling in my ears,

C                                         G

    washing away the weariness like tears.

D                                   F#m

    I can feel my troubles running down,

C                               G

   disappear into the silent sound.

 

   A                         C     - A                      F                                         A

2.    Just walking along,      my clothes soaked right through to the skin,

                       C       - A                            C               B7

    I haven't a doubt,       that this is what life is all about.

                                C         B7                                C

    The sun and the rain, scraps of paper washing down the drain.

 

    D                         F#m

I feel the rain, falling on my face,

C                                     G

    I can say there is no better place

D                                       F#m

    than standing up, in the falling down,

C                                      G

   in so much rain, I could almost drown.

3.   It's raining again,        crack in the clouds reveals blue skies,

                                    C     - A                           C                   B7

    I've been feeling so low,        but now everything is on my side,

                               C      B7                             C

    the sun and the rain, walk with me, fill my heart again.

   disappear into the silent sound.

    than standing up, in the falling down,

D                                       A

   in so much rain, I could almost drown.
