The Handsome Family – When It Rains (Guitar)

E                         Bm
When it rains, the streets  of Chicago

F#m                                Am            B
shine like jewels, though it's just  broken glass

E                    Bm
When the sun shines, dirty pigeons

F#m                     Am                       B
coo like doves in the dy - ing trees

              G#m                     C#m
And the drunks   going through the gar - bage

       G#m                       C#m
in the al - ley behind my house

        C                    E
smile up at the falling buil - dings,

   Am               C            E
so bittersweet like crying clowns

E                         Bm
And through the cars, boun - cing over puddles

F#m                  Am          B
Children weave on sto - len bikes

    E                   Bm
The vacant lots are full  of old men

    F#m              Am             B
sear - ching for nine - teen twenty-five

           G#m             C#m
And in the parks, lonely wo - men

             G#m       G#         C#m
tossing bread   to the rabid dogs

        C                   E
smile up at the passing air - planes

          Am               C               E
as if the sky were full of snow-white swans

              G#m                     C#m
And the drunks   going through the gar - bage

       G#m                       C#m
in the al - ley behind my house

        C                    E
smile up at the falling buil - dings,

   Am               C      E
so bittersweet like crying clowns
