Rainy Day People chords *
Capo IV
GRainy day people always seem to know when it's Amtime to call.
CRainy day people don't Dtalk
they just listen till they've Gheard it all.
CRainy day lovers don't Dlie when they tell you
Cthey've been down like Gyou.
CRainy day people don't Dmind if you're cryin' a Ctear or Gtwo.
GIf you get lonely, all you really need is that Amrainy day love.
CRainy day people all Dknow there's no sorrow
they can't Grise above.
CRainy day lovers don't Dlove any others
Cthat would not be Gkind.
CRainy day people all Dknow how it hangs
on their Cpeace of Gmind.
CRainy day lovers don't Dlie when they tell you
Cthey've been down there, Gtoo.
CRainy day people don't Dmind if you're cryin' a Ctear or Gtwo.
GRainy day people always seem to know
when you're Amfeelin' blue
CHigh stepping strutters who Dland in the gutters
sometimes Gneed one, too.
CTake it or leave it or Dtry to believe it,
Cif you've been down too Glong,
CRainy day lovers don't Dhide love inside, they just Cpass it Gon.
CRainy day lovers don't Dhide love inside, they just Cpass it Gon.
