Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
A D A D
A
[Verse 1]
A
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
A
My girl has found another and gone astray
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
[Refrain]
A D
But I wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)
A
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
A
It hurt so badly I wanna go outside (Such a lovely day)
A
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
D A
But somehow I've got to cry 'cause crying eases the pain
E D
People, this hurt I feel inside, words that can never explain
[Refrain]
A D
I just wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)
A D
Oh, let it rain, let it rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)
[Interlude]
A D
Let it rain, let it rain (Let it rain)
A D
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
A D
Oh let it rain, let it rain
A D
Oh let it rain
[Verse 3]
A
Day in day out my tear-stained face
A
Pressed against the windowpane
My eyes, they search the skies desperately for rain
D
Raindrops will hide my teardrops
A
And no one will ever know that I'm crying (Crying, crying, crying)
E D
When I go outside to the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain
[Refrain]
A D
Oh I wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)
A D D
Ooh baby, let it rain, let it rain (Let it rain, let it rain)
A D
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
A D A D
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes (Rain, rain, rain, let it rain)
D
Oh, let it rain (Doo doo doo doo)
[Outro]
A
I'm a man and I got my pride (Rain, rain, rain, rain, let it rain)
D
'Til it rains I’m gonna stay inside (Doo doo doo doo)
A D
Let it rain (Let it rain, let it rain)
A D
No, let it rain
A D
Oh, let it rain
A D
Let it rain
A D A
Oh, let it rain
