I would guess that very few people know R.E.M. did a cover of this song. They did it for
live performance,
although I don't know when or where. Here it is.
Two versions are presented here: first keeps the original lyrics, but played the way
does. The second is
with the lyrics that Michael actually sang during the performance.
VERSION 1:
INTRO
G | C (x2)
G
VERSE ONE
G
Someone told me long ago
D
There's a calm before the storm, I know
And it's been coming for some time
When it's over, so they say
D
It'll rain a sunny day, I know
G
Shining down like water
CHORUS
C D
I wanna know
G Em
Have you ever seen the rain
C D
I wanna know
G Em
Have you ever seen the rain
C D G
Coming down on a sunny day
VERSE TWO
G
Yesterday and days before
D
Sun is cold and rain is hard, I know
G
Been that way for all my time
G
'Til forever on it goes
D
Thru the circle fast and slow, I know
G
And it can't stop, I wonder
CHORUS AGAIN
VERSION 2:

Shining down like water
