C  F  G  F

C                                       F
Baby, what do you say when love comes down on you
            G
Rainin' the blues on you
                      F
Like it's never gonna end on you
     C                                          F
And all yourdreams like leaves in the gutter go floatin' by
             G                        F
No, baby, I don't know why all God's children cry
                G                        F
I'll miss your skin, as golden as your wheatfield hair
              G              F
And where you go I hope you find out there

CHORUS:

           C    C/B
A better rain
               Am               G                   F

The kind that comes in off the coast and paints the sky
                        G                               
And lets you know that God's alive
           Em    F
A better rain
         C       C/B       Am      G        F
That'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again
            G
And be all right again
              C     G      F       G          
In a better rain


     C                           F         
Someday is gonna find you in a sweeter place
           G
Long after time has erased
                    F
All the words like razor blades
 C                           F
You'll remember you and me before the flood
            G                   F
Once upon a time in love, a beautiful us
G                      F 
I can see you on some stretch of sand
 G                                 F
Spinin' round in circles barefoot dancin' in
 
           C   C/B 
A better rain
         Am             G              F                   
That'll leave behind a rainbow in the sky
                    G
Lets you know that God's alive
           Em     F
A better rain
          C      C/B        Am     G       F
That'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again
            G
And be all right again
              C   C/B  Am   G    F   G
In a better rain
           Em   F
A better rain
          C    C/B     Am      G      F
That'll leave behind a rainbow in the sky
                   G
Lets you know that God's alive
