Chords

I would guess that very few people know R.E.M. did a cover of this song. They did it for live performance, although I don't know when or where. Here it is. Two versions are presented here: first keeps the original lyrics, but played the way does. The second is with the lyrics that Michael actually sang during the performance. VERSION 1: INTRO G | C (x2) G VERSE ONE
 G
Someone told me long ago

                                     D
There's a calm before the storm, I know
And it's been coming for some time When it's over, so they say
                            D
It'll rain a sunny day, I know

                     G
Shining down like water
CHORUS
C       D
I wanna know

          G           Em
Have you ever seen the rain

C       D
I wanna know

          G           Em
Have you ever seen the rain

C        D                 G
Coming down on a sunny day
VERSE TWO
G
Yesterday and days before

                                 D
Sun is cold and rain is hard, I know

                    G
Been that way for all my time

G
'Til forever on it goes

                                  D
Thru the circle fast and slow, I know

                       G
And it can't stop, I wonder
CHORUS AGAIN VERSION 2: INTRO G | C (x2) G

It can't last forever

G
If forever on it goes

                              D
