A sweet, fun, 60's sounding tune from 1993, "No Rain" by alternative rock group Blind Melon is one of the most recognizable hits of the 90's. A feel good, mid-tempo song, it's pretty simple to learn and play. Listen to the song for rhythm, and have fun. This isn't "Stairway to Heaven;" it's a loose, cool song, easily learned with a little practice.

Verse / Chorus:
E                         D
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
  A                         G      E      E7
I like watching the puddles gather rain
    E                    D
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
    A                         G         E     
And speak my point of view but it's not sane

(Part One x2)
It's not sane

E              D              E           D 
I just want someone to say to me   oh, oh, oh, oh
E              D                 E  D      
I'll always be there when you wake, yeah...
E                       D              E        D
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
E                D                   E        D    
So stay with me and I'll have it made
      E                      D   
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
      A                       G         E     E7 
And I start to complain that there's no rain
    E                      D 
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
   A                           G           E 
It rips my life away, but it's a great escape

(Part One x4)
Escape, escape, escape

E                        D
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
         A
You don't like my point of view
         G        E  
You think that I'm insane

(Part One x3)
It's not sane, it's not sane

E              D             E           D           
I just want someone to say to me oh, oh, oh, oh
E              D                  E      D
I'll always be there when you wake, yeah,
E                      D              E          D
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
E               D                   E      D
So stay with me and I'll have it made
E               D                   E      D
Ooh and I'll have it made
E               D                   E      D
Ooh, and I'll have it made, lord lord no
E               D                   E      D
You know I'm really gonna, really gonna have it made, yeah
E               D                   E      D
You know I'll have it made
