Rainy Day Bells - A great doo-wop song written by Neil Sedaka and used on the 
Globetrotters cartton show. Outstanding lyrics. Sung by the "Globetrotters", 
though it was probably the Cadillacs. Song is very simple til you get to the 1/2 
step key change in the last verse. Rick in Macon

2nd verse: same chords as first:

Hey, little girl, come to your window
And hear the music sing you a sweet song
Don't let the rain make you unhappy
In just a moment we're going to be walking in the sun
Little gray clouds will cheer up
They're going to smile and clear up
When they hear those rainy day bells
Pitter-patter, rain day bells

Pitter-patter, rain day bells
