Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night 
           G        D                       G             D           Bm 
Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right."

A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia 
                   G                    D     Em 
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world

I feel like it's rainin' all over the world 

D            G         D                   G       D        
Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night 
          G            D              G                  D            Bm 
A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night 

                 F#m    Bm                      F#m    Em 
A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia

Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world 
                 G                    D 
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world 

Cmaj7            Bm       Cmaj7 
How many times I wondered 
                       Bm 
It still comes out the same 
Em        D                     Em 
No matter how you look at it or think of it 
     G     Em           Cmaj7  G        D             
It's life, and you just got to play the game 

  D                    G        D            G         D 
I find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar to pass some time 
                        G              D                 G               D          Bm 
Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine 

                          F#m    Bm                            F#m    Em  
But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia,  I 
          G                    D    Em                          G 
feel it's rainin' all over the world, kinda lonely now and it's rainin' all over the 
D    Em 
world 
                       G              Em 
Oh, have you ever been lonely, people? 
                         G                           D    Em 
And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world 
                G     D 
You're talking about, rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', 
                                                    G 
rainin', rainin' rainin', rainin', rainin' over the world
