As recorded by Bruce Springsteen (From the 2022 Album ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE) [Intro] A D A D A [Verse 1]
A
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away

A
My girl has found another and gone astray

D
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom

   A
So day after day I stay locked up in my room

          E                   D
I know to you, it might sound strange
[Refrain]
                    A                                 D
But I wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)

      A
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
A
It hurt so badly I wanna go outside (Such a lovely day)

A
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry

    D                                      A
But somehow I've got to cry 'cause crying eases the pain

             E                   D
People, this hurt I feel inside, words that can never explain
[Refrain]
                     A                                 D
I just wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)

                        A                                 D
Oh, let it rain, let it rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)
[Interlude]
A       D
 Let it rain, let it rain (Let it rain)

                    A            D
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

          A            D
Oh let it rain, let it rain

          A     D
Oh let it rain
[Verse 3]
       A
Day in day out my tear-stained face

A
Pressed against the windowpane
My eyes, they search the skies desperately for rain
D
Raindrops will hide my teardrops

                                   A
And no one will ever know that I'm crying (Crying, crying, crying)

                         E                         D
When I go outside to the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain
[Refrain]
             A                                       D
Oh I wish it would rain (Oh how I wish that it would rain)

        A        D                                      D
Ooh baby, let it rain, let it rain (Let it rain, let it rain)

                                 A    D
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

       A                    D                 A                        D
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes (Rain, rain, rain, let it rain)

D
Oh, let it rain (Doo doo doo doo)
[Outro]
      A
I'm a man and I got my pride (Rain, rain, rain, rain, let it rain)

        D
'Til it rains I’m gonna stay inside (Doo doo doo doo)

       A            D
Let it rain (Let it rain, let it rain)

           A    D
No, let it rain

           A    D
Oh, let it rain

       A    D
Let it rain

           A    D  A
Oh, let it rain
