The rain is falling through the mist of sorrow that surrounded me.
The sun could never thaw away the bliss that lays around me.
 
Let it Rain,

"Let It Rain"

This took a lot of effort and gives anybody who thinks there are errors a lot to work with. I happen to think that unlike MOST tabs, at least the CHORDS are right. It also gives the flow of the song. The solo is as close as I can tell without slowing down the song and listening to each note. Frankly, it isn't worth it. This version of the solo gives me a great place to start from. I may position things differently but that doesn't make any difference. I think this was a great job and a lot of work. Mike, what don't you like? Be specific. I do believe that E.C. doesn't use the "open" chords in the intro and there are multiple guitars or overdubbing. I also don't think he uses barre chords. If you have ever seen him play this, he builds the chords by going up the neck to fret as many of the notes of the chord as possible, then in many cases there are open strings that are not part of the chord in strict terms. The point is it sounds good. Lots of artists do this. I haven't worked this one out yet and am not sure if I have the skill. Some artists find alternate fingerings as they work up the neck, many times not all the strings are played. If you think you know better, post a correction.

At least appreciate the effort, Mike. I think it was a helluva job.
