WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO THE RAIN   Time: 2/2   Tenor: C    Bass: A
1             *     2m            5
Just a little rain, falling all a-round
    3m              57          1        *
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound
6m            *     3m            *
Just a little rain, just a little rain
4              *           5       *
What have they done to the rain
CHORUS:
1             *    2m              5
Just a little boy, standing in the rain
    3m               57        1        *
The gentle rain that falls for years
        6m       *         3m        *
And the grass is gone, the boy disap-pears
    4          *            1        *
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
    2m             *           5       *
And what have they done to the rain
1             *       2m         5
Just a little breeze, out of the sky
    3m               57           1            *
The leaves pat their hands as the breeze blows by
6m            *                3m           *
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye
    4              *           5       *
And what have they done to the rain
