C G Am F Em
In the song the G is played as a bar chord, on the third fret
[Verse 1]
All the
rivers are bending
And the mountains are peaking
And the
flowers are blooming
And the meadows are rolling
Into
waves, they wash upon the shore
And
barely touch your
toes
The
clouds are crowding around us
For some
reason no one
knows
And I said,
”Hey, looks like
raaiiiiin”
Then you
lifted your hands and prayed
“Go
awaaayyy
y, you can
come back some other day”
But they
staayyyed
And you
soaked under all of the grey
And the
raaiiiiin
Washed all
our cries and pleas away
[Verse 2]
Now t
he season is changing
And the leaves now are turning
And the
birds aren’t singing
And the grass isn’t green anymore
Than it used to be when the
sunbeams lit it
up
And the
clouds are crowding ’round us
Just to
say they’ve had
enough
And I said,
”Hey, looks like
raaiiiiin”
Then you
lifted your hands and prayed
“Go
awaaayyy
y, you can
come back some other day”
But they
staayyyed
And you
soaked under all of the grey
And the
raaiiiiin
Washed all
our cries and pleas away

[Verse 3]
And now the
current takes us out and all the
ripples turn to
waves
The
wind begins caressing all the
branches to a
sway
The
air shattered like glass
And felt like
crystals on your
face
I
took you in my arms
And I could
hear you saying
grace
Then I said, “
Hey, looks like
raaiiiiin”
Then you
lifted your hands and prayed
“Go
awaaayyy
y, you can
come back some other day”
But they
staayyyed
And you
soaked under all of the grey
And the
raaiiiiin
Washed all
our cries and pleas away
