  Turned on the weather man just after the news

         Am6                                  Bm7/A
I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues

Am6                                           Bm7/A
  He looked at the chart but he look in vain

    Heavy cloud but no rain

Am6                                           Bm7/A
  Back in time with Louis X-V-One

       Am6                                    Bm7/A
At the court of the people he was number one

       Am6                               Bm7/A
He the   bluest blood they ever seen

         Am6
When the king said hi to the guillotine

Cm6
The royal astrologer was run out of breath

                E7#9                                    Bb13
He thought that maybe the rain would postpone his death

   Am6                                         Bm7/A
He look in the sky but he look in vain

Am6  N.C.
     Heavy cloud but no rain

     Am6
Well the land was cracking and the river was dry

    Bm7/A  Am6                                        Bm7/A
All the    crops were dying when they ought to be high

      Am6                                     Bm7/A
So to   save his farm from the banker's draft

           Am6
The farmer took out a book on some old witchcraft

          Cm6
He made a spell and a potion on a midsummer night

            E7#9                               Bb13
He killed a   brindled calf in the pale moonlight

   Am6                                       Bm7/A
He prayed to the sky but he prayed in vain

Am6  N.C.
     Heavy cloud but no rain

Am6  N.C.
     Heavy cloud but no rain

    Cmaj7     D              Am7        D
The sun won't shine till the clouds are gone

    Am7          Bm7           Cmaj7   D
The clouds won't go till their work is done

Cm6
And every morning you'll hear me pray

E7#9                       Bb13
If only it would rain today

Am6                                           Bm7/A
  I asked my baby if there'd be some way

               Am6                             Bm7/A
She said she'd   save her love for a rainy day

     Am6                                     Bm7/A
So I   look in the sky but I look in vain

Am6  N.C.
     Heavy cloud but no rain

Am6      Bm7/A
