[Intro]
F F/E F/Eb
Bbmaj7 C
[Verse 1]
F G Eb Eb/C Bb
Once upon a time in the land of misty satin dreams
C Gm F/A Bb Bb/C F
There stood a house and a man who painted nature scenes
G Eb Eb/C Bb C
He painted trees and fields and animals and streams and he stayed
Gm F/A Bb Bb/C F
And he didn't hear the falling of the rain
[Refrain 1]
F Caug/E Cm/Eb D
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Ah
Gm F/A Bb Bb/C F
No he didn't hear the falling of the rain
F F/E F/Eb
Bbmaj7 C
[Verse 2]
F G Eb Eb/C Bb
In the forest green lived a girl who put her hair in braids
C Gm F/A Bb Bb/C F
And she sang as she walked all around the wooded glades
G Eb Eb/C Bb C
She was glad when the rain came falling on her face and she sang
Gm F/A Bb Bb/C F
'Cause she did not mind the falling of the rain
[Refrain 2]
F Caug/E Cm/Eb D
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Ah
Gm F/A Bb Bb/C F
No he didn't mind the falling of the rain
F Am
[Chorus 1]
F Am
Will it always be the same as we recall?
F Am
Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall?
F Bb F/A G
Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see
F/C C F/C C
Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me
F F/E F/Eb
Bbmaj7 C
[Verse 3]
F G Eb Eb/C Bb C
High upon a hill far away from all the dusty crowd is a boy
Gm F/A Bb Bb/C F G
With his eyes on the ground; his head is bowed; he is a fool
Eb Eb/C Bb C
And his mind is filled with hopeless dreams and he waits
Gm F/A Bb Bb/C F
But he will not see the fallin' of the rain
[Refrain 3]
F Caug/E Cm/Eb D
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Ah
Gm F/A Bb Bb/C F
No he will not see the falling of the rain
F Am
[Chorus 2]
F Am
Will it always be the same as we recall?
F Am
Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall?
F Bb F/A G
Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see
F/C C F/C C
Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me
F F/E F/Eb
Bbmaj7 C
[Verse 4]
F G Eb Eb/C Bb
So now the boy becomes the man who sits and paints all day
C Gm F/A Bb Bb/C F
But the girl with the braids in her hair has gone away
G Eb Eb/C Bb C
And it seems that time has brought things to an end; nothing's changed
Gm F/A Bb Bb/C F
'Cause you can't stop the falling of the rain.
[Refrain 4]
F Caug/E Cm/Eb D
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Ah
Gm F/A Bb Bb/C F
No you can't stop the falling of the rain
