The Rain - Sons of Bill
(CAPO 2nd FRET)
Em G D  Em G D  Em G D  Em G D
I could Emblame it Gon the Dmoon
For Emcalling me Gout to-Dnight
Maybe EmI'm just a Glittle bit Dlonesome, baby
And Emmaybe my Ghead ain't Dright
I could Emwalk down Gto the Dstation
See my Emreflection Gon the Dground
EmReceeding Gin the Dripples
But I Emdo not Ghear a Dsound
I don't hear a Cadd9soundD  
The Emdevil she Gcomes to Dme says
"Boy, do you Emwanna go Gout to-Dnight?"
She's got a Emfourty ounce Ghurricane Din her left hand
And a Emfourty-five Gin her Dright
You're Emdying Gjust to Dtouch her
And your Emheart just Gwants to Dscream
So you Empull her just a Glittle bit Dcloser
And pre-Emtend its all Gjust a Ddream
'Cause it's just a Cadd9dreamD  
CHORUS
Oh and Cadd9I.....Em.. ain't the Dman I wanna Embe
They call it Cfreedom as you're Greaching for your Dchains
Oh and Cadd9I.....Em.. am haunted Dby the memo-Emries
Of who I Cused to be when I Gdidn't hate the Drain
Like I hate the EmrainG  D  
Em G D  Em G D  Em G D
I could Emblame it Gon the Dmoon
For Emcalling me Gout to-Dnight
Maybe EmI'm just a Glittle bit Dlonely, baby
And Emmaybe my Ghead ain't Dright
I ain't Emtrying to Gsing the Dblues
It's bloody Emfingers and Gguitar Dstrings
Twelve Embars is Gjust a Dprison
When there's Emnothing else Gleft to Dsing
There's nothing left to Cadd9singD  
[REPEAT CHORUS]
I hate the EmrainG  D  
Like I hate the EmrainG  D  
I hate the EmrainG  D

The Rain - Sons of Bill

(CAPO 2nd FRET)

Em G D Em G D Em G D Em G D

Em G D

I could blame it on the moon

Em G D

For calling me out to-night

Em G D

Maybe I'm just a little bit lonesome, baby

Em G D

And maybe my head ain't right

Em G D

I could walk down to the station

Em G D

See my reflection on the ground

Em G D

Receeding in the ripples

Em G D

But I do not hear a sound

Cadd9 D

I don't hear a sound

Em G D

The devil she comes to me says

Em G D

"Boy, do you wanna go out to-night?"

Em G D

She's got a fourty ounce hurricane in her left hand

Em G D

And a fourty-five in her right

Em G D

You're dying just to touch her

Em G D

And your heart just wants to scream

Em G D

So you pull her just a little bit closer

Em G D

And pre-tend its all just a dream

Cadd9 D

'Cause it's just a dream

CHORUS

Cadd9 Em D Em

Oh and I....... ain't the man I wanna be

C G D

They call it freedom as you're reaching for your chains

Cadd9 Em D Em

Oh and I....... am haunted by the memo-ries

C G D

Of who I used to be when I didn't hate the rain

Em G D

Like I hate the rain

Em G D Em G D Em G D

Em G D

I could blame it on the moon

Em G D

For calling me out to-night

Em G D

Maybe I'm just a little bit lonely, baby

Em G D

And maybe my head ain't right

Em G D

I ain't trying to sing the blues

Em G D

It's bloody fingers and guitar strings

Em G D

Twelve bars is just a prison

Em G D

When there's nothing else left to sing

Cadd9 D

There's nothing left to sing

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Em G D

I hate the rain

Em G D

Like I hate the rain

Em G D

I hate the rain
