#1.
Ab                           C#
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
Ab                               Eb
telling me just what a fool I've been.
  Ab                               C#
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,
    Ab        Bbm7  Eb Ab
and let me be alone a..gain.

#2.
Ab                             C#
The only girl I care about has gone away..
Ab                      Eb
lookin' for a brand new start.
    Ab                                 C#
But little does she know that when she left that day..
Ab                 Bbm7 Eb Ab
along with her she took my heart.

CHORUS:
C#                           Cm
Rain please tell me now does that seem fair..
    C#                              Ab
for her to steal my heart away when she don't care?
  Fm                         Bbm7        Eb        Ab  C# Eb
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away.

#3.
Ab                             C#
The only girl I care about has gone away..
Ab                      Eb
lookin' for a brand new start.
    Ab                                 C#
But little does she know that when she left that day..
Ab                 Bbm7 Eb Ab
along with her she took my heart.


(INTERLUDE:HARMONICA:)

BRIDGE:
C#                             Cm
Rain won't you tell her that I love her so,
C#                             Ab
please tell the sun to set her heart aglow.
Fm                            Bbm7    Eb            Ab  C# Eb
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow.

telling me just what a fool I've been.

I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,
    Ab        Bbm7  Eb Ab
and let me be alone a..gain.
