    A - D - A - D    - A

 

    A

1.     Sunshine, blue skies, please, go away,

 

    my girl has found another and gone away.

       D

    With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom,

           A

    so day after day, I stay locked up in my room.

                      E                             D

    I know to you it might sound strange,

                                   A             D

    but I wish it would rain, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

     A

2.      'Cause so badly I wanna go outside,

 

    but everyone knows that a man ain't suppose to cry, listen.

D                                        - A

    I gotta cry, 'cause cryin'          eases the pain, oh yeah.

                          E                          D

    People, this hurt I feel inside, words can never explain.

                                   A                      D

    I just wish it would rain, oh, a little rain, rain rain,

 

+  A - D - A - D (2x)      +  A

 

    A

3.      Day in, day out, my tear stained face

 

    pressed against the window pane.

 

    My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain,

                D

   'cause raindrops will hide my teardrops, and no one will ever know,

                   A

    that I'm cryin', cryin' when I go outside.

 

                  E                                        D

    To the world outside, my tears, I refuse to explain.

                                    A                                                 D       - A

    Oh, I wish it would rain, oh, how I wish that it would rain.
