Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Key: G
  • Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Verse 1:

 D   Cadd9                D     Cadd9  G
  Like April Showers on the slick cement
    D     Cadd9    D                Cadd9  G
  When I consider how our light is spent
    D      Cadd9        D           Cadd9  G
  Keeping the candles inside the cathedral
    D      Cadd9                    D
  Hold on tight, don't go into the night
   Cadd9      G
  So full of evil

  Cadd9  G  Cadd9 G  D

Chorus:
-------
   G               D
  Rain, rain, don't go away
   Cadd9            Cadd9
  We need you this dry and dusty day
   G               D
  Rain, rain, don't go away
   Cadd9            Cadd9
  Though some may say Please go away

Verse 2:
--------
   D   Cadd9               D      Cadd9
  Like April Showers on the slick cement
   D      Cadd9       D                      Cadd9
  And the roads, once straight, have now become so bent
   D       Cadd9               D     Cadd9
  Weaving through the trees of vain security
    D           Cadd9                        D
  Rounding round the hardest rocks of hard morality

  Cadd9 G  D  (This time the Cadd9 G after verse is played only once)


Chorus:
-------
   G               D
  Rain, rain, don't go away
   Cadd9            Cadd9
  We need you this dry and dusty day
   G               D
  Rain, rain, don't go away
   Cadd9            Cadd9
  Though some may say Please go away

(Intro Lick is played ONCE)

Bridge:
-------
   Em      Am7
  And the sacred cows
   Em          Am7
  Feed on the green
   Em          Am7
  While the least of these
       Em           D
  Are dying on the streets

  And they're crying  .

Chorus:
-------
   G               D
  Rain, rain, don't go away
   Cadd9            Cadd9
  We need you this dry and dusty day
   G               D
  Rain, rain, don't go away
   Cadd9            Cadd9
  Though some may say Please go away

Chorus:
-------
   G               D
  Rain, rain, don't go away
   Cadd9            Cadd9
  We need you this dry and dusty day
   G               D
  Rain, rain, don't go away
   Cadd9            Cadd9
  Though some may say Please go away

Outro:
