I Wish It Would Rain Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]What is it, Paul?
What's the matter with you?
They done killed Reverend

[Interlude 1]
King.
[G][C][G][C]
[G]

[Verse 2]
Ooh [G]Sunshine,
blue skies
Please go away
My girl's found another
And gone away
[C]With her went my future
My life is filled with gloom
So [G]day after day,
I stay locked up in my room
I know to [D]you
It might sound [C]strange
But I wish it would [G]rain (Oh, how I
wish that it [C]would rain)
[G]Ooh

[Verse 3]
As if the [C]world losing Dr.
King wasn't enough
[G]The Motown family lost Tammi Terrell
from a brain [C]tumor
She [G]died at 24 years old.
David was [C]destroyed
Maybe permanently

[Verse 4]
[G]Day in, day out, my tearstained face
Pressed against the windowpane
My eyes search the skies
Desperately for rain
[C]Raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know
That I'm [G]crying (crying)
When I go outside
To the [D]world outside, my tears
I re[C]fuse to explain
Oh, I wish [G]it would rain (Oh, how I wish
[C]that it would rain)
Oo[G]h

[Verse 5]
There [C]was nowhere for sanctuary
[G]Outside, the world was exploding
[C]And inside, so were we

[Verse 6]
[G]Ooh
Let it rain
Let it [C]rain
I need [G]rain to disguise the tears
in my eyes [C](Let it rain)
[G]Oh
Let it rain, let it [C]rain
I'm [G]a man and I've got my pride
I'm [C]a man[G]
Let it [C]rain
Ooh
