[Verse 1]Em6 F#m7/A
Turned on the weather man just after the news
Em6 F#m7/A
I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues
Em6 F#m7/A
He looked at the chart but he look in vain
Heavy cloud but no rain
[Verse 2]
Em6 F#m7/A
Back in time with Louis XVI
Em6 F#m7/A
At the court of the people he was number one
Em6 F#m7/A
He'd be the bluest blood they'd ever seen
Em6 F#m7/A
When the king said hi to the guillotine
Gm6
The royal astrologer was run out of breath
B7#9 F13
He thought that maybe the rain would postpone his death
Em6 F#m7/A
He look in sky but he look in vain
Em6
Heavy cloud but no rain
[Verse 3]
Em6 F#m7/A
Well the land was cracking and the river was dry
Em6 F#m7/A
All the crops were dying when they ought to be high
Em6 F#m7/A
So to save his farm from the banker's draft
Em6
The farmer took out a book on some old witchcraft
Gm6
He made a spell and a potion on a midsummer's night
B7#9 F13
He killed a brindled calf in the pale moonlight
Em6 F#m7/A
He prayed to the sky but he prayed in vain
Em6
Heavy cloud but no rain
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Heavy cloud but no rain
Gmaj7 A Em7 A
The sun won't shine till the clouds are gone
Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7 A
The clouds won't go till their work is done
Gm6
And every morning you'll hear me pray
B7#9 F13
If only it would rain today
[Verse 4]
Em6 F#m7/A
I asked my baby if there'd be some way
Em6 F#m7/A
She said she'd save her love for a rainy day
Em6 F#m7/A
I look in the sky but I look in vainAm6
Em6
Heavy cloud but no rain
