Chords

My all-time favorite Johnny Rivers song. Unfortunately, there is almost zero information on this recording (as far as I can find); when you type in Johnny rivers Rain song, clearly summer rain takes the screen. You can play Am7 and Am/G interchangeably, along with D/F# and D*. Depends on your style

C                              G
It's not like I don't hear the rain

C                             B7
rolling down the drain like a waterfall

Em             Am     Am/G    D/F#                         C     G
I don't have a dime to make a call to bring you home again babe

   C                          G
it's not like the tears in my eyes

C                         B7
make me just a little bit wiser now

Em                      Am     Am/G   D/F#
I don't know if (being) gentle is the key

                C     G
I'm alone again babe
[Chorus]
Em
I don't know what goes in between

     Am            D      C    G
but I love you baby yes I do

Em                             Am
hey, I'm not even sure what all these words mean

      C                             D
but I hope you know I mean them for you
[Verse]
C                               G
some folks think that cryings a shame

     C                              B7
they think that if you're down, you must be lame

     Em               Am       Am/G D/F#
hey, I don't care too much who they blame

                C     G
I'm alone again babe
