   The sweet September rain
G(no 3rd) G  Am7  
  Rain on me,  like no other
Dm7
  Until I drown, until I drown

F7M/9                                  [ F7M/G ]

C/G 
   My love and I,
G/D
   We are boxing clever
Am7                      F7M
   She'll never crowd me out
G(no 3rd)  G       Am7  
  Fall, be free as   old confetti
Dm7
  And paint the town, paint the town
