"Pitter Patter" (Wilson/Love/Jardine) From "M.I.U. Album" (1978) While this song in the Brian-ish key of Eb, the rhythm guitar does shuffle figures consistent The slide and other lead parts are probably the same. ------------------------------------------------------- [Verse]
               E                    Em
It looks like rain...and it's been comin' on for hours,

               E                 Em
it looks like rain...I hear the rumble of thunder showers.

  A                                                Em
Pretty soon the rain will play its sweet refrain, while we listen from inside.

A                                                   F#7                 B7
And until it stops, we'll hear the drips and drops from beside the fireside.
[Chorus]
           E                       A              B7
So let it rain, yeah and we'll be happy when it starts,

             E                  A               B7
cos when it rains, the ways of love rise in my heart.
[middle 8]
C#m             F#7
We won't be sad when there's a storm,

    C#m                F#7                     N.C.
an' we can be glad cos we can keep warm, yeah, yeah.
[Chorus]
                   E
And listen to the rain...                       A       B7
(pitter-patter, pitter-patter, of the rain)
       E             B7                    E

[verse]
               E                  Em
A rain-swept plain, soon after springtime rains blow over,

                  E                   Em
will sprout new grain, and miles of fresh green fields of clover.

 A                                             Em
Winter and its cold, soon will lose its hold, with the changes spring will bring.

 A                                              F#7                          B7
Sun comes pouring down, warming up the ground, bringing new life with the spring.
[Chorus]
           E                  A              B7
So let it rain, and we'll be happy when it starts,

             E                  A               B7
cos when it rains, the ways of love rise in my heart.
[Middle 8]
     C#m                    F#7
and like the rising tides, love is growning stronger,

 C#m                             F#7
let's ride out the storm just a little bit longer,yeah.
[Chorus]
                   E
And listen to the rain...                       A       B7

       E             B7                    E

       B7            E             B7            E            B7

N.C.               E
And listen to the rain...                       A       B7
(pitter-patter, pitter-patter, of the rain)
