[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] He said this town is dying, _
[A] _ dying just to be [E] like me. _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] He was fighting everything in sight. _
[A] _ He died when he was [E] 23. _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] I used to meet him down in his cabin. _
[A] He had one eye on the door [E] and the other on the right on the wall. _
[A] _ _ _ [E] He'd get restless and angry and we'd all laugh,
[A] because we weren't really scared.
We was his friends, he [E] wouldn't hurt us at all. _
[A] _ And all he'd say [E] was,
Rain, rain, rain, [A] rain, rain, rain, rain, [E] rain, rain, _ [A] rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.
We got to leave this [E] town. _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] His lover was a dancer,
imitating [A] Eddie Cochran by the jukebox.
[E] In a corner of the room,
Billy was lost.
[A] _ _ [E] Marry me, we used to escape,
playing hide and go seek,
[A] wearing our Italian clothes,
drinking [E] cider,
talking to the moon. _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] Hey babe, come over here,
let me buy you a beer.
[A] What's your name?
She said,
Boy, [E] doesn't really matter, don't you see? _
_ [A] _ _ [E] You ain't what I want,
you ain't what I need,
[A] you ain't what I fancy,
you ain't what I dream of.
[E] I'd silently leave. _ _
[A] _ Ugly.
[E] Rain, rain, _ [A] rain, rain, _ [E] rain, rain, [A] rain, rain, rain.
I've got to leave [E] this place. _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] My history as a cop,
somewhere [A] back there in the dark,
I got scared because I knew [E] I was going to lose. _ _
[A] _ _ You know that [E] feeling you get in your guts,
all that frustration,
when you [A] know you're going nuts.
[E] You've got to make a move. _ _ _
[A] _ _ There was [E] Biddy and Glover and Facer and Taylor and Barry.
And [A] Barry.
I remember [E] what he said about that town.
He said, I went to [A] London once.
_ [E] Came back,
wiped the tears from my eyes,
[A] looked out the window,
[E] couldn't make it.
_ [A] And it was still pouring down.
La [E] la la la la la.
_ Rain, [A] rain, rain, [E] rain, rain, rain, [A] rain, rain.
I'm going to get a [E] train.
_ _ _ [A] _
Never coming back [E] again.
_ If [A] _
I did, it would be the [E] same.
_ _ _ [A]
Boy, I really messed up my day.
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _
La la la [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
la la la.
Take your [E] washing off the line.
Take your [A] washing off the line.
Take the washing off the line.
[E] _ Take the washing [A] off the line.
It's [E] gone, man.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [E] Gone away.
