G               Bb
 It's raining a-gain,
G
 I'm hearing it's,
Eb             G
 Pitter patter down.
                Bb
It's wet in the street,
G               Eb
 Reflecting the lights,
              A7
And splashing feet.

           Bb
Nowhere to go,
A7             Bb
 And nothing I have to do,

 Have to do.

 It's raining a-gain,

 I follow the,
Eb
 Christmas lights,

Down town,
                Bb
I'm leaving the flow,
A7
 Of people walking,
Bb
 All around,
Bbmaj7
 Round and round,

Chorus 1:

D7
 I hear the,
C
 Sound of rain,
        Em
Falling in my ears,
Bb
 Washing away the,

Weari-ness like tears.

 I can feel my troubles,

 Running down,

 Disappear into,
    F
The silent sound.

Verse 3:

G               Bb
 Just walking a-long,
G               Eb
 My clothes are soaked,
                     G
Right through to the skin,
            Bb
I haven't a doubt,
                  G
That this is what life,
   Eb    A7
Is all a-bout;

                Bb
The sun and the rain,
A7
 Scraps of paper,
        Bbmaj7
Washing down the drain.

Chorus 2:

D7  C
  I feel the rain,
        Em
Falling on my face,
Bb
 I can say there is,
   F
No better place.

C
 Than standing up,
       Em
In the falling down,
Bb
 In so much rain,
        F
I could almost drown.

 A crack in the clouds,

Reveals blue skies.
                     Bb
I've been feeling so low,
              G
But now every-thing,
   Eb    A7
Is on my side;

The sun and the rain,

 Walk with me,

Fill my heart again.
