 F
Caroline you’re angry
‘Cause you sleep like a spinster
             F
And you're twenty-eight

           Bb
You been thinking late

                      F
You couldn’t catch a cold
[Verse 2]
 F
Bend your head double
In the goose-down
                F
Piling all the pillows high

            Bb
Heave your fiercest sigh

                    F
And see if that’ll work
[Chorus]
         C                 Bb
And the raincoat that you wore

         F
When it rained today

         C                 Bb
And the raincoat that you wore

         F
When it rained today

    Dm           C         Bb
I think it only made it rain more

    Dm           C         Bb
I think it only made it rain the more
[Interlude] F [Verse 3]
        F
If the water’s all wicking
Up your pant leg
                   F
Better wear your britches tight

          Bb
I should teach you right

                  F
To be so down at heel
[Verse 4]
      F
Going off half-cocked
Not shot full of arrows
           F
From the cherubim

        Bb
Oh the nerve of them

                   F
To not draw their bow
[Chorus]
         C                 Bb
And the raincoat that you wore

         F
When it rained today

         C                 Bb
And the raincoat that you wore

         F
When it rained today

    Dm           C         Bb
I think it only made it rain more

    Dm           C         Bb
I think it only made it rain the more
[Outro] F F C F
