Verse:
G5 C5 G5
Long as I remember rain's been falling down
G5 C5 G5
clouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the ground
C5 G5
Good men through the ages
C5 G5
tryin' to find the sun
C5 D5
and I wonder still I wonder
E5 G5
who'll stop the rain
G5 C5 G5
I went down Virginia seeking shelter from the storm
G5 B5 C5 G5
Caught up in a fable watched the tower grow
C5 G5
Five-year plans and New Deals
C5 G5
wrapped in golden chains
C5 D5
and I wonder, still I wonder
B5 G5
who'll stop the rain
Instumental break: (approx.strum )
C5 G5 D5 A5 C5 D5 G5
G5 C5 G5
Heard the singers' playing, how we cheered for more
G5 B5 C5 G5
the crowd had rushed together, just tryin to keep warm
C5 G5
Still the rain kept fallin' (still the rain keeps fallin')
C5 G5
Fallin on my ears (fallin' thru the years)
C5 D5
And I wonder, still I wonder
B5 (No Chords)
who'll stop the rain...
G5 B5
