[Intro]

F
 
 
[Verse 1]
 F
Caroline you’re angry
 
‘Cause you sleep like a spinster
             F
And you're twenty-eight
           Bb
You been thinking late
                      F
You couldn’t catch a cold
 
 
[Verse 2]
 F
Bend your head double
 
In the goose-down
                F
Piling all the pillows high
            Bb
Heave your fiercest sigh
                    F
And see if that’ll work
 
 
[Chorus]
         C                 Bb
And the raincoat that you wore
         F
When it rained today
         C                 Bb
And the raincoat that you wore
         F
When it rained today
    Dm           C         Bb
I think it only made it rain more
    Dm           C         Bb
I think it only made it rain the more
 
 
[Interlude]
F
 
 
[Verse 3]
        F
If the water’s all wicking
 
Up your pant leg
                   F
Better wear your britches tight
          Bb
I should teach you right
                  F
To be so down at heel
 
 
[Verse 4]
      F
Going off half-cocked
 
Not shot full of arrows
           F
From the cherubim
        Bb
Oh the nerve of them
                   F
To not draw their bow
 
 
[Chorus]
         C                 Bb
And the raincoat that you wore
         F
When it rained today
         C                 Bb
And the raincoat that you wore
         F
When it rained today
    Dm           C         Bb
I think it only made it rain more
    Dm           C         Bb
I think it only made it rain the more

Plays great, but I think it makes it a lot easier to capo 1 and change the chords accordingly
