[Intro]

[Verse]
G C/G G
I hear the drizzle of the rain
Am Asus2/G C C/B Bm/F#
Like a memo- ry it falls
G Bm/F# G C
Soft and warm continuing
Am Asus2/G D | G C/G | G C/G | G C/G | G C/G |
Tapping on my roof and walls
[Verse]
G C/G | G C/G | G |
And from the shelter of my mind
Am Asus2/G C C/B Bm/F#
Through the window of my eyes
G Bm/F# G C
I gaze beyond the rain drenched streets
Am D | G C/G | G C/G | G C/G | G C/G |
To England where my heart lies
[Interlude]
| D * | % | % | D * |
| G C/G | G |
[Verse]
G C/G G
My mind's distracted and diffused
Am Asus2/G C C/B Bm/F#
My thoughts are many miles a- way
G Bm/F# G C
They lie with you when you're asleep
Am Asus2/G D | G C/G | G C/G | G C/G | G C/G |
And kiss you when you-ou-ou start your day
[Verse]
G C/G G
And a song I was writing’s left undone
Am Asus2/G C C/B Bm/F#
I don't know why I spent my time
G Bm/F# G C
Writing songs I can't believe
Am Asus2/G D | G C/G | G C/G |
With words that tear a-nd strain to rhyme
[Interlude]
| D * | % | % | D * |
| G C/G | G |
[Verse]
G C/G G
And so you see I have come to doubt
Am Asus2/G C C/B Bm/F#
All that I once held as true
G Bm/F# G C
I stand alone without beliefs
Am Asus2/G D | G C/G | G C/G | G C/G | G C/G |
The only truth I knowow-ow is you
[Verse]
G C/G G
And as I watch the drops of rain
Am Asus2/G C C/B Bm/F#
Weave their weary paths and die
G Bm/F# G C
I know that I am like the rain
Am Asus2/G D | G C/G | G C/G |
There but for the grace of you go I
