[Verse 1] N.C First day in August The last rain was in May
         F#        C#
When the rainmaker came to Kansas

       E                 B
In the middle of a dusty day

         F#        C#
Said the rainmaker to the people

         E                        B
"Tell me what you are prepared to pay"

         F#        C#
Said the rainmaker to the people

            E                 B
"Well, I'll conjure up a rain today"
[Instrumental] F# B E F# C# B [Chorus]
F#                        B                E
Ninety degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady

F#                     C#  B
Hundred and ten in the hot sun

F#                             B           E
Heat from the street burns the feet of the ladies

F#
See how they run
[Instrumental]
G#  D#  F#  C#
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

G#  D#  F#  C#
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
[Verse 2]
G#              D#
Called down the lightning

F#            C#
By a mystical name

        G#        D#
And the rainmaker called on the thunder

    F#                   C#
And suddenly it began to rain

        G#                   D#
And the rainmaker passed his hat to the people

        F#                C#
But the people all turned away

        G#
And the rainmaker's eyes

        D#
And the Kansas skies

           F#                   C#
Well, they both became a darker grey
[Instrumental] G# C# G# C# G# G# C# G#
B   F#  A   E
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

B   F#  A   E
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
[Verse 3]
B            F#
First day of August

    A                E
The last rain was in May

         B         F#
When the rainmaker came to Kansas

       A                 E
In the middle of a dusty day

    B                      F#
The rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon

        A                  E
And without a word he rode way
N.C Then the people of the town heard the sound of his laughter And they knew the rain had come to stay [Chorus]
B          F#
Rain, rain go away

A          E
Come again another day

B          F#
Rain, rain go away

A          E
Come again another day

B          F#
Rain, rain go away

A          E
Come again another day
[Instrumental] B F# A E B F# A E B F# A E
