“HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN” [Intro] G [Verse]
G
 Someone told me long ago

G                                     D
 There's a calm before the storm, I know

                                 G
And it's been coming for some time
[Verse]
G
 When it's over, so they say

G                            D
 It'll rain a sunny day, I know

                      G
Shining down like water
[Chorus]
C          D
I wanna know
Have you
G      D       Em
ever seen the rain

C        D
I wanna know
Have you
G     D        Em
ever seen the rain

C                D     G
Coming down on a sunny day
[Bridge] G [Verse]
G
 Yesterday and days before

G                                D
Sun is cold and rain is hard, I know

                         G
Been that way for all my time
[Verse]
G
 'Til forever on it goes

G                                 D
 Thru the circle fast and slow, I know

                      G
And it can't stop, I wonder
[Chorus]
C         D
 I wanna know
Have you
G      D      Em
ever seen the rain

C         D
 I wanna know
Have you
G      D      Em
ever seen the rain

C       D          G
 Coming down on a sunny day
[Bridge] G TO “CLEOPATRA” [Verse]
G
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress

                                                D
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand

          G
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress

                                     D
With my father in a casket, I had no plans

G
Yeah
[Bridge] G [Verse]
G
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet

                                                D
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town

      G
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant

                                                      D
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around
  [Chorus]
           G*
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life

           G   D      C      G                 C   G          D
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

D    G
Time
[Bridge] G [Verse]
G 
While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me

                                             D
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true

      G
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me

                                                     D
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you
[Chorus] 
          G         D    C        G     C            G          D
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life

           G   D      C          G             C        G      D
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
  [Pre-Chorus]
        Em                 G           C         D Em
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce

         C                                Em           C     D  G
But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part
[Bridge] G [Verse]
G
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters

                                               D
But that's all in the past love, gone with the wind

G
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom

       G*
It's a bed and it's a bathroom

      D*
And a place for the end
[Chorus]
            G        D      C       G     C            G          D
So won’t be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life

           G    D     C           G            C        G     D
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
