INTRO:
C F G F

C                                     F
Baby, what do you say when love comes down on you
            G
Rainin' the blues on you
                      F
Like it's never gonna end on you
    C                                            F
And all your dreams like leaves in the gutter go floatin' by
            G                        F
No, baby, I don't know why all God's children cry
               G                       F
I'll miss your skin, as golden as your wheatfield hair
              G             F
And where you go I hope you find out there

CHORUS:

         C        
A better rain
              Am              G                    F
The kind that comes in off the coast and paints the sky
                       G             Em   
And lets you know that God's alive
         F
A better rain
        C                Am              G            F
That'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again
           G           HOLD G 
And be all right again
            C    
In a better rain


C                              F
Someday is gonna find you in a sweeter place
           G
Long after time has erased
                   F
All the words like razor blades
C                          F
You'll remember you and me before the flood
            G               F
Once upon a time in love, a beautiful us
G                     F
I can see you on some stretch of sand
G                                 F
Spinin' round in circles barefoot dancin' in

         C        
A better rain
              Am              G         F
The kind that comes in off the coast and paints the sky
                       G             Em
And lets you know that God's alive
         F
A better rain
        C                Am             G           F
That'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again
           G           HOLD G
And be all right again
            C    Em
In a better rain
         F
A better rain
        C              Am            G      F
That'll leave behind a rainbow in the sky
                   G
Lets you know that God's alive
            C          
In a better rain
F        G
A better rain
