C                           F 
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain 
C                                G 
Telling me just what a fool I've been 
  C                                F 
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain 
    C          G      C    G 
And let me be alone again 

    C                          F 
The only girl I care about has gone away 
C                       G 
Looking for a brand new start 
    C 
But little does she know 
              F 
That when she left that day 
C                  G       C 
Along with her she took my heart 

F                            Em 
Rain please tell me now does that seem fair 
    F                               C 
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care 
  Am                         Dm         G          C    G 
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away 

    C                          F 
The only girl I care about has gone away 
C                       G 
Looking for a brand new start 
    C 
But little does she know 
              F 
That when she left that day 
 C                 G       C 
Along with her she took my heart 

F                              Em 
Rain won't you tell her that I love her so 
F                             C 
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow 
Am                            Dm      G              C    G 
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow 

C                           F 
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain 
C                                G 
Telling me just what a fool I've been 
  C                                F 
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain 
    C          G      C    G 
And let me be alone again 

    C             Am            C                    Am 
Oh, listen to the falling rain, Pitter pater, pitter pater  3x
