Rainy Day People  by Gordon Lightfoot

According to his original 1975 studio recording.  If you wish to play in-tune along with this
particular version, you need to TUNE almost ½ step sharp.  I said almost.   
Other arrangements get by with Am second chord, but it?s really Am7.

You can play the middle guitar solo starting with following notes:
B C D C A G E A.
G F#, E D B D E D C B D.  

Capo IV tuned ## Sharp

G                                              Am7
Rainy day people always seem to know when it's time to call.
C                      D
Rainy day people don't talk
                              G
they just listen till they've heard it all.
C                      D
Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you
C                      G
they've been down like you.
C                      D                       G
Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two.


G                                              Am7
If you get lonely, all you really need is that rainy day love.
C                    D
Rainy day people all know there's no sorrow
           G
they can't rise above.
C                                 D
Rainy day lovers don't love any others
C                          G
that would not be kind.
C                               D
Rainy day people all know how it hangs
             C             G
on their peace of mind.

Guitar solo - 
B C D C A G E A.
G F#, E D B D E D C B D.  


C                      D
Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you
C                        G
they've been down there, too.

C                      D                       G
Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two.



G                           
Rainy day people always seem to know
            Am7
when you're feelin' blue
C                                         D
High stepping stutters who land in the gutters
                G
sometimes need one, too.
C                              D
Take it or leave it or try to believe it,
C                                   G
if you've been down too long,
C                                D                                     C           G
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside, they just pass it on.
C                      D                                                   C         G
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside, they just pass it on.
