Patti Smith – Farewell Reel (Guitar)

G
It's been a hard time

    C                D
and when it rains it rains on me

    G
The sky just opens

    C                D
and when it rains it pours

G            C
I walk alone assaulted it seems

   D
by tears from heaven

    G
and darling I can't help

C                        D       Dm   D   Dm
thinking those tears are yours

G             C
Our wild love came from above

    D
and wilder still

G
Is the wind that howls

       C                     D
like a voice that knows it's gone

G                           C
'Cause darling you died and well I cried

    D
but I'll get by

G
Salute our love

    C
and send you a smile

         D    Dm   D   Dm
and move on

G                   C
So darling farewell all will be well

         D
and then all will be fine

    G
The children will rise

C                   D
strong and happy be sure

       G
'Cause your love flows

         C
 and the corn still grows

    D
and God only knows

G
We're only given

   C                     D
as much as the heart can endure

    G
But I don't know why

    C                D
but when it rains it rains on me

    G
The sky just opens

    C                D
and when it rains it pours

    G               C
But I look up and a rainbow appears

       D
like a smile from heaven

    G                    C
and darling I can't help thinking

              D      Dm
That smile is yours
