Verse 1:
G+G       D MajorD
First day in August
FF        C majorC
Last rain was in May
     G+G     D MajorD
When the rainmaker came to Kansas
    FF         C majorC
In the middle of a dusty day
  G+G             D MajorD
And the rainmaker said to the people of Kansas
 FF            C majorC
"What you are prepared to pay"
     G+G          D MajorD
Said the rainmaker to all the people of Kansas
    FF           C majorC
"I can bring you on a rain today"

Bridge:
G+G            C majorC
Was ninety degrees in the heat where it's shady
G+G           FF  C majorC
Hundred and ten in the hot sun
G+G                C majorC
Heat from the street burned the feet of the ladies
FF      G+G       A augmentedA
See how they run how they run

Verse 2:
G+G        D MajorD
Called down the lightning
FF       C majorC
By a mystical name
     G+G     D MajorD
Then the rainmaker called on the thunder
  FF          C majorC
And it suddenly began to rain
     G+G          D MajorD
Then the rainmaker passed his hat to the people
    FF         C majorC
But the people all turned away
     G+G
Then the rainmaker's eyes
    D MajorD
And the Kansas skies
   FF          C majorC
They both became a darker grey

Break
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC

Verse 3:
     G+G      D MajorD
It's the first day in August
FF           C majorC
Hasn't been rain since May
     G+G     D MajorD
When the rainmaker came into Kansas
    FF         C majorC
In the middle of a dusty day
  G+G           D MajorD
The rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon
FF           C majorC
Without a word he rode way
    G+G              D MajorD
And the people of the town heard the sound of his laughter
   FF             C majorC
They knew the rain had come to stay

Banter
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC (repeat through out)
And they were so afraid
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
Well if the rain continued, surely,they would lose all their crops
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
and in the ensuing flood they would lose their very farms
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
and they were so afraid.
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
What can they do, they said
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
We'll have to get some airplanes in here
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
We'll get 5 or 6 of those big bombers and will spray the clouds.
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
We'll use some of those fine chemicals they have on the market now.
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
So up went 5 big airplanes and they dumped phosphates
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
and they dumped octoates, and they dumped all kinds of ates on the clouds
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
but nothing happened, except that the clouds got a little darker
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
and it rained a little harder.
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
And so, in a fit of panic, the people got together again and said
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
We've got to do something to stop this rain
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
and a little man said, well, why don't you sing?
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
And they said, well ok, we sing in church on Sundays
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
I suppose it would be alright to sing here too so they got together
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
and said, ok, let's do it but, what should we sing?
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
And the young man said, well, if you want the rain to go away
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
I'd suggest you sing, rain rain, go away, come again another day
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
or something like that and eventually you will just disburse the clouds.
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
So, they said, we'll give it a try.
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
But you must remember that Kansas is a very uptight little community
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
and so the result when all of these people got together to sing
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
was that no one wanted anyone else to know that it was going on.
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
So, it sounded kinda' like, uh
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
(muffled) rain rain oh won't ya go away, come again another day.
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
No spirit in it at all and the little man said
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
"Now if you really believe in something, it's gonna work out for you
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
but if you don't believe in it
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
it's not gonna work at all, so ya gotta' sing it you know!"
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
And they all said, well ok
I suppose we can do it.
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
It was very quiet at first, you could hardly hear it.
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
It was just a little: rain rain go away, come again another day
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
rain rain go away, come again another day
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
Then a few more people heard it
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
rain rain go away, come again another day
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
then a few more joined in
G+G D MajorD FF C majorC
rain rain go away come again another day.

Outro

G+G     D MajorD
Rain rain go away
FF       C majorC
Come again another day
G+G     D MajorD
Rain rain go away
FF       C majorC
Come again another day
Repeat to fade
