(1st verse)
Rain fell this morning , Make me feel so bad , On account of my baby ,
Walked off with another man , Like taking eye sight from the blind man ,
And money from the poor , That woman took my lovin' ,
And walked out that door .
 
(chorus)
And it sure (nuff) got cold , After the rain fell , Not from the sky ,
(but) From my eye .
 
(2nd verse)
Somebody can you tell me , Just what make a man feel this way ,
Like a river without it's water , Like night without a day .
 
(3rd verse)
If ever early in the morning , You hear that rain to fall ,
With thunder bolts and lightning , The wind begins to call ,
Your worries superficial , Cause you slept on through the night ,
But stormy weather keep you wonderin' , If everythings alright .

Hi -- First of all, thanks for the tab. Love this song. Wanted to know if you know where the solo tab is available? Doesn't matter if it's commercial (tab songbook) or freely distributed -- just cannot find it anywhere. Thanks in advance for your response.

Well done Hank, I've been covering this old tune for years, I just never get tired of doing it......Everyone else probably does though...People want to hear it........Great job on the tab, your right, you have to feel the tune, simply playing the notes on the four just isn't enough........good luck
