Intro: D-D-D-D-G7-G7-D-D

Verse 1:

D
Caroline, you're angry because you sleep like a spinster and you're twenty-eight

            G7                                D
You've been thinking late, you couldn't catch a cold

D
Bend your head double in the goose-down, piling all the pillows high

           G7                               D
Heave your fiercest sigh and see if that'll work

Chorus:

        A                 G            D
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today

        A                 G            D
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today


Transition:

D                            G7
I think it only made it rain more

D                       G7
I think it only made it rain the more

Verse 2:

           D
And if the water's all wicking up your pant-leg, better wear your britches tight

         G7                               D
I should teach you right to be so down at heel

      D
Going off half-cocked, not shot full of arrows from the cherubim

        G7                              D
Oh, the nerve of them to not draw their bows


Chorus:

        A                 G            D
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today

        A                 G            D
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today


Transition:

D                            G7
I think it only made it rain more

D                       G7
I think it only made it rain the more
