Verse: 

	     D                     Am 
	The rain has followed me through the mist 
	    C      G       D 
	Of sorrow that surrounded me 
	    (D)              Am 
	The sun could never thaw away 
	      C         G      D 
	The bliss that lays around me 

	        D    Am         D   Am 
	Let it rain,    let it rain 
	          C         G      D 
	Let your love rain down on me 
	        D    Am         D   Am 
	Let it rain,    let it rain 
	        C     G   {1,3: D   2,4: A; to intro} 
	Let it rain, rain, rain 

Verse 2: 

	My life was like a desert flower

	Until I found the way to love 
	Was harder said than done
