Rhythm of the Rain (1962) (midi)

 

      C                                        F

1. Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,

     C                                               G

    telling me just what a fool I`ve been.

       C                                                 F

    I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,

            C               G        C    - G

    and let me be alone again.

             C                                           F

    The only girl I`ve ever loved has gone away,

      C                                    G

    looking for a brand new start.

      C                                                      F

    Little does she know that when she left that day,

       C                          G            C   

    along with her she took my heart.

      F                                            Em

    Rain please tell me now does that seem fair,

         Dm                                                 C

    for her to steal my heart away when she don`t care,

      Am                                         Dm                                  C  - G

    I can`t love another when my heart`s somewhere far away.

 

2. = 1.

 

      F                                          Em

    Rain won`t you tell her that I love her so,

      Dm                                         C

    please ask the sun to set her heart aglow,

           Am                                       Dm                               C  - G

    and rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow.
