[ch]G[/ch]       [ch]Em[/ch]      [ch]C[/ch]        [ch]D[/ch]
Rain is falling from the sky
[ch]G[/ch]          [ch]Em[/ch]
It touches everything
[ch]C[/ch]          [ch]D[/ch]      [ch]D[/ch]
Brings new life...

[ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]

[ch]G[/ch]          [ch]Em[/ch]
He came in April
    [ch]C[/ch]        [ch]D[/ch]
The month of rain
[ch]G[/ch]            [ch]Em[/ch]
Sweeter than anything
   [ch]C[/ch]          [ch]D[/ch]
It changed my life
   [ch]G[/ch]         [ch]Em[/ch]
To know what love is
[ch]C[/ch]           [ch]D[/ch]
Love in the water
    [ch]G[/ch]           [ch]Em[/ch]
Our hearts were happy then
[ch]C[/ch]           [ch]D[/ch]      [ch]D[/ch]
Loving each other

         [ch]D[/ch]      [ch]D[/ch]
There is sorrow 
   [ch]C[/ch]        [ch]C[/ch]
in the eyes
       [ch]D[/ch]      [ch]D[/ch]
Of the people
   [ch]C[/ch]       [ch]C[/ch] 
in my life
         [ch]D[/ch]      [ch]D[/ch]
They are hungry
     [ch]C[/ch]        [ch]C[/ch]
They can't see
           [ch]F[/ch]
Pray for a flood
              [ch]C[/ch]
To swallow us up

[ch]G[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]
[ch]D[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]  [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]

[ch]G[/ch]          [ch]Em[/ch] 
He left in June you see
[ch]C[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]
Left me dry
[ch]G[/ch]                  [ch]Em[/ch]
Blood chilled with bitterness
[ch]C[/ch]          [ch]D[/ch]        [ch]D[/ch]
There was another...
          [ch]G[/ch]            [ch]Em[/ch]
With the storm clouds above me
  [ch]C[/ch]        [ch]D[/ch]
I wait for rain
    [ch]G[/ch]           [ch]Em[/ch]
And look to the mountaintops
   [ch]C[/ch]        [ch]D[/ch]      [ch]D[/ch]
To hear his voice

         [ch]D[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]
There is sorrow 
   [ch]C[/ch]        [ch]C[/ch]
in the eyes
       [ch]D[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]
Of the people 
   [ch]C[/ch]        [ch]C[/ch]
in my life
         [ch]D[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]      
They are hungry
     [ch]C[/ch]        [ch]C[/ch]
They can't see
           [ch]F[/ch]      [ch]F[/ch]
Pray for a flood
           [ch]C[/ch]      [ch]C[/ch]
Pray for a flood
           [ch]F[/ch]      [ch]F[/ch]
Pray for a flood
           [ch]C[/ch]      [ch]C[/ch]
Pray for a flood 

[ch]F[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]
[ch]F[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]
[ch]F[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]
[ch]F[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]
[ch]F[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]

This is how I do the fingering for each chord
 [ch]G[/ch]              [ch]Em[/ch]             [ch]C[/ch]              [ch]D[/ch]              [ch]F[/ch]
