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.

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,

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.
