Intro:  ||: Am  -  G  -  F7  -  E7  :||

E7       Am       Dm          Am     Fdim     Am
Comes a rainstorm,   put your rubbers on your feet;

        E7        Fdim  E7        Fdim          E7
Comes a snowstorm,         you can get a little heat --

Bm7-5  E7  Fdim  E7        Bm7-5 E7  Am
Comes love,         nothing can  be done.


E7       Am   Dm          Am        Fdim    Am
Comes a fire,    then you know just what to do;

       E7    Fdim         E7   Fdim     E7
Blow a tire,      you can buy another shoe --

Bm7-5  E7  Fdim  E7        Bm7-5 E7  Am   F   Am
Comes love,         nothing can  be done.


Bridge:
 
     A7   Em7 A7   A7+5    A7         Dm  D+5  A7 Fdim Dm
Oh, don't try hid - ing, 'cause there is - n't an - y use

A7                 A7+5 E7        Fdim        E7 Bm7-5  E7
You'll start sli - ding when your heart turns on  the  juice.



E7       Am     Dm         Am    Fdim  Am
Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day;

         E7        Fdim         E7     Fdim   E7
Comes a toothache,    see your dentist right away --

Bm7-5  E7  Fdim  E7        Bm7-5 E7  Am   F   Am
Comes love,         nothing can  be done.

*Thanks to recent visitor Charlie Sidran for the suggestion. There are a number of versions of this song currently available, each with something to recommend it, and each with something against it. I prefer this one, which comes across much cleaner than its rivals.
