RAIN - The Beatles  (Lennon/McCartney) - this one's sung by John
 
ALBUMS: Hey Jude (1970) & Past Masters Volume 2
 
This is the first Beatles song to feature 'backward vocals' and it's the first
Beatles song that doesn't mention anything about love.
It was recorded at a higher speed and then slowed down and it was issued as the
double A side single with "Paperback Writer".
 
C      x32010
Cadd9  x32030
D      xx0232
G      320033
 
 
[Intro]
| G   | G   | G   | G
 
[Verse 1]
       G               C       D          G
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads
     C        D       G
They might as well be dead
       C
If the rain comes
       G
If the rain comes
 
[Verse 2]
                         C    D        G
When the sun shines they slip into the shade 
    C         D    G
And sip their lemonade
         C
When the sun shines
         G
When the sun shines
 
[Chorus]
G     Cadd9
Raaaaaaaain
         G
I don't mind
G     Cadd9
Shiiiiiiiine
              G
The weather's fine
 
[Verse 3]
I can show you that when it starts to rain
Everything's the same
I can show you
I can show you
 
[Chorus]
G     Cadd9
Raaaaaaaain
         G
I don't mind
G     Cadd9
Shiiiiiiiine
              G
The weather's fine
 
[Verse 4]
Can you hear me that when it rains and shines?
It's just a state of mind
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

nearly right.. the C on the line 'when the sun shines' should be a Cadd9 and the chorus is wrong, it should be like this; G5 Gsus2/4 G5 Raaaaaaiiiiiiin..... I don't mind G5: 3X0033 Gsus2/4: 300013 rest id fine.... dig it
