Fairport Convention – Eastern Rain (Guitar)

                                       Gm7
Rain comes from the east one night, we watch it come

   C                                  Gm7           Ab
To hang like beaded curtains till the morning sun

                                 F
Water dripping from our clothes

                                  Eb
You, with raindrops on your nose

                                C            Eb
Ask me sadly, "Please don't go away, love"

                                      C
"Till the rain is done," I say, "I'll stay now"

                                  Gm7
Rain outside, but inside we don't mind at all

C                           Gm7             Ab
Shadows by the fire, slowly climb and fall

                                F
Kisses fade and leave no trace

                            Eb
Whispers vanish into space

                                C        Eb
None will send me on a chase to nowhere

                                    C
What matters if I were the first to go there?

                                   Gm7
Morning comes up from the east, we watch it come

    C                            Gm7              Ab
And far away now rolls the angry rain god's drum

                                 F
You, with daybreak in your eyes

                                   Eb
Afraid to speak, for telling lies

                                     C        Eb
I watch you search for some reply to lend me

                                         C
But when the rain is done, we'll stop pretending
