Am6                                           Bm7/A
  Turned on the weather man just after the news
         Am6                                  Bm7/A
I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues
Am6                                           Bm7/A
  He looked at the chart but he look in vain
Am6 N.C.
    Heavy cloud but no rain


[Verse 2]
Am6                                           Bm7/A
  Back in time with Louis X-V-One
       Am6                                    Bm7/A
At the court of the people he was number one
       Am6                               Bm7/A
He the   bluest blood they ever seen
         Am6
When the king said hi to the guillotine
Cm6
The royal astrologer was run out of breath
                E7#9                                    Bb13
He thought that maybe the rain would postpone his death
   Am6                                         Bm7/A
He look in the sky but he look in vain
Am6  N.C.
     Heavy cloud but no rain


[Verse 3]
     Am6
Well the land was cracking and the river was dry
    Bm7/A  Am6                                        Bm7/A
All the    crops were dying when they ought to be high
      Am6                                     Bm7/A
So to   save his farm from the banker's draft
           Am6
The farmer took out a book on some old witchcraft
          Cm6
He made a spell and a potion on a midsummer night
            E7#9                               Bb13
He killed a   brindled calf in the pale moonlight
   Am6                                       Bm7/A
He prayed to the sky but he prayed in vain
Am6  N.C.
     Heavy cloud but no rain

    Cmaj7     D              Am7        D
The sun won't shine till the clouds are gone
    Am7          Bm7           Cmaj7   D
The clouds won't go till their work is done
Cm6
And every morning you'll hear me pray
E7#9                       Bb13
If only it would rain today


[Verse 4]
Am6                                           Bm7/A
  I asked my baby if there'd be some way
               Am6                             Bm7/A
She said she'd   save her love for a rainy day
     Am6                                     Bm7/A
So I   look in the sky but I look in vain
Am6  N.C.
     Heavy cloud but no rain

Oh
