-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Capo: 1st fret


G       Em      C        D
Rain is falling from the sky
G          Em
It touches everything
C          D      D
Brings new life...

G          Em
He came in April
    C        D
The month of rain
G            Em
Sweeter than anything
   C          D
It changed my life
   G         Em
To know what love is
C           D
Love in the water
    G           Em
Our hearts were happy then
C           D      D
Loving each other

         D      D
There is sorrow 
   C        C
in the eyes
       D      D
Of the people
   C       C 
in my life
         D      D
They are hungry
     C        C
They can't see
           F
Pray for a flood
              C
To swallow us up

G          Em 
He left in June you see
C       D
Left me dry
G                  Em
Blood chilled with bitterness
C          D        D
There was another...
          G            Em
With the storm clouds above me
  C        D
I wait for rain
    G           Em
And look to the mountaintops
   C        D      D
To hear his voice

         D       D
There is sorrow 
   C        C
in the eyes
       D       D
Of the people 
   C        C
in my life
         D       D      
They are hungry
     C        C
They can't see
           F      F
Pray for a flood
           C      C
Pray for a flood
           F      F
Pray for a flood
           C      C
Pray for a flood
