  I've seen the rain pouring down.
E MajorE             A augmentedA      Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA Asus4Asus4
  The sky was grey with a speck of blue.
A augmentedA               Bm7Bm7
  Deep through a hole in the clouds --
E MajorE             A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA Asus4Asus4
  the sun was screaming' hey you.
A augmentedA            Dmaj7Dmaj7 Bm7Bm7
  As you ramble through your sorrow --
E MajorE                 A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA Asus4Asus4
  Seems like everything come out wrong.
A augmentedA             Dmaj7Dmaj7 Bm7Bm7
  I'm living in yesterday's tomorrow's,
E MajorE                A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
  I know something's helping me along.

E MajorE             A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
  Tell you what I'm gonna do.
