CM7              CM7/6  CM7    Am7  Am
Soon it's gonna rain,   I can feel it,

CM7             CM7/6  Em7     A
Soon it's gonna rain,   I can tell;

G/B              Am7      Cdim     C     Cdim Dm7  G7
Soon it's gonna rain, what are we gon - na do?


CM7             CM7/6  CM7    Am7  Am
Soon it's gonna rain,   I can feel it,

CM7             CM7/6 Em7     A
Soon it's gonna rain, I can tell;

D9             D7/9    G6    G/B Am7 Fdim  C   Fdim  C   CM7  C7
Soon it's gonna rain, what'll we  do with you?


Bridge:

C7/G   F   Dm7        G7       Cdim
We'll find     four limbs on a tree,

G6     CM7  CM7/6     Em7   Em7sus4     Am
We'll build      four walls    and   a floor,

Am     Dm   Dm+7        Dm7      Fdim(III)
We'll bind      it all over with leaves

     Am7       Cdim    Dm7    G7
Then duck in - side to stay.


CM7               CM7/6  CM7       Am7 Am
Then we'll let it rain, we'll not feel it;

CM7              CM7/6  Em7       A
Then we'll let it rain, rain pell-mell,

D9               D7/9  G6    G/B   Am7  Cdim Em7  G/B   A7
And we'll not complain if it never stops at  all,

A9     F       Em7     Dm7     G7       CM7    CM7/6 CM7 Dm7 Dm7-5 CM7
We'll live and love within our own four walls.
