Note that this is a tab of the original version of this song
by the Prisonaires, written by Johnny Bragg, and not the one
sung by Johnnie Ray. It's also come to my attention that the
recording I have of the song differs from a version posted on
youtube, so I've taken the liberty of posting the version I
listen to on my blog.
The song is structured:

LYRICS:
Just walkin' in the rain
Gettin' soakin wet
Torturing my heart
By tryin' to forget
Just walkin' in the rain
So alone and blue
All because my heart
Still remembers you
People come to windows
And they always stare at me
Shake their heads in sorrow
Sayin' who can that fool be
Just walkin' in the rain
Thinkin' how we met
Knowin' things have changed
Somehow I can't forget
People come to windows
And they always stare at me
Shake their heads in sorrow
Sayin' who can that fool be
Just walkin' in the rain
Thinkin' how we met
Knowin' things have changed
Somehow I can't forget
