D G A D G D G Em7 A7
[Verse 1]
D Em7 A7 D Come on now and dry your eyes G D Em7 A7 Time will ease a-way the pain D Bm A D Clouds disperse and show the clear skies G Em7 A7 D The earth smells sweeter after rain
[Verse 2]
D Bm A G D There has never been a deluge G D Em7 A7 That could wash out every stain. D Bm A G D In cracked pavements weeds find refuge G Em7 A7 D But the earth smells sweeter after rain
[Bridge 1]
G D G A D The world is vast but pain's horizon G D Em A7 Wrapped a-round us makes it small D Dm Em If you break out from this prison E7 G Em A Depending where the teardrops fall
[Verse 3]
D Bm A D Out of barren-ness renewal G D Em7 A7 Hope is just a tiny grain D Em A7 D Iro - ny is often cruel G Em7 A7 D But the earth smells sweeter after rain
[Verse 4]
D Bm A7 D Debris left where floods receded G D Em7 A7 Was surely bound to cause you pain D Em A G D Just ignore all that's not needed G Em7 A7 D Earth smells sweeter after rain
[Bridge 2]
G D A7 D Sadness is a poor heart teacher G D E A7 You're not a-lone we're all the same D Dm G E7 Running down the road to meet her E7 G Em7 A7 Palace Gate or Factory Lane
[Verse 5]
D Bm A7 D Joy is not to one confined G D Em7 A7 Neither then is grief and pain D Bm A D Water only draws the line G Em7 A7 D And the earth smells sweeter after rain
[Outro]
