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 Burning in the sun Until I found the way to love Was harder said than done {repeat Chorus} {repeat intro; drums enter 2nd time} Guitar solo: F#m F+ F#m7/E F#m7/D# / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Em7 A13 {3X} Em7: 022030 A13: x02022 / / / / / / / / Verse 2: Now I know the secret There is nothing that I lack When I give my heart to you You'll surely give it back {repeat Chorus, 2X} Coda: {repeat first four bars of intro 18X; drums enter 2nd time, band and guitar solo 3rd time; disintegrates at end}
