Chords

[Verse]
D                      C
Scratch my back with a lightning bolt

Am                   Em
Thunder rolls like a bass drum note

C                           D                G
The sound of the weather is Heaven's ragtime band

D                         C
We all fell down from the Milky Way

Am                           Em
Hangin' 'round here till the Judgment Day

F           C               D
Heaven only knows who is in command
[Chorus]
G        D               Em         D
Barefoot children in the rain

C      G           A7    D
Got no need to explain

G       D                      Em       D
We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain

C           G             Am                  Em
It's always understood by those who play the game

C        D               G
Barefoot children in the rain
[Verse]
D                 C
Show me yours and I'll show you mine

Am                           Em
Take me back to days full of monkeyshines

C                             D                    G
Bouncin' on a bubble full of trouble in the summer sun

D                       C
Keep your raft from the riverboat

Am                Em
Fiction over fact always has my vote

F                 C                       D
And wrinkles only go where the smiles have been
[Chorus]
G        D               Em         D
Barefoot children in the rain

C        G       A7     D
Got no need to explain

G       D                      Em       D
We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain

C           G             Am                  Em
It's always understood by those who play the game

C        D               G
Barefoot children in the rain
[Instrumental]
C               G               C             Em    D
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la

C        D               G
Barefoot children in the rain
[Verse]
D                       C
Scratch my back with a lightning bolt

Am                   Em
Thunder rolls like a bass drum note

C                           D                G
The sound of the weather is Heaven's ragtime band

D                         C
The sky turns blue and the sun appears

Am                                   Em
But the question's still what are we doin' here

F                 C                 D
I don't think the answer's close at hand
[Chorus]
G        D               Em         D
Barefoot children in the rain

C        G         A7     D
Got no need to explain

G       D                      Em       D
We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain

C           G             Am                 Em
It's always understood by those who play the game

C        D               G
Barefoot children in the rain
[Outro]
G
In the rain

G
In the rain
