Start Jamming...
Ladies and gentlemen, Bonnie Raitt.
Hello.
What an auspicious gathering.
Look how far we've grown.
Congratulations to all of you for all the help you're giving.
And to James Taylor, who I love so much.
Started out together in Massachusetts when I was in [E] college.
[G] He used to let me open the shows for you, tune my guitar for me.
I cut this song back in 1974.
Steve Gadd was playing drums on it then, he's playing on it again.
How about a hand [N] for the band?
[Am] [A]
I always was drawn to James' kind of shadow side.
Here's one of my favorites.
What [E] good is that [D] hat?
[A] [Em] All you wanted [G] from [D] the start was [A] to cry.
[D]
[Em] Well, it looks like [A] another [D] fall.
[Bm] [Em] My friends, they [A] don't help at [D] [Bm] all.
[Em] When I'm feeling kind [A] of cold [D] and [Bm] small.
[C] When I look up [G] that rainy day, [D] man.
[D] [G] Does me [A] no [D] good to pretend.
[Bm] Well, [E] it's made of [A] old, much too [D] big a man.
[Bm] [Em] And it looks like [A] I'll [D] lose [C] again, my friends.
Say, if I look up [G] that rainy day, [D] man.
[Bm] [F#m] Rainy day, man, [Em] it don't like [A] sunshine.
[Bm] Don't [F#m] chase [Em] rainbows, [A] don't need good [Bm] times.
[F#m] Rainy day's [Em] rolling and I [A] see him.
[Em] I said, an empty [A] feeling, [G] now [A] I need [D] him.
[Am]
Oh, [Bm] [A] there's no good [D] thoughts that don't belong.
[Em] You [Am] can't [D] hide the truth with a happy [Bm] song.
[Em] It's just I knew where I stood.
[C]
[G] I [C] think I look up [G] that [D] rainy day, man.
[Bm]
[F#m] Simple [G] plans will [A] all evade [Bm] you.
And a [F#m] store bought [Em] treasure, none [A] can save [Bm] you.
You look [F#m] the size, [Em] they ease [A] the pain.
[G] I ask [A] again, [G] pray [A] for [D]
[Am] rain.
But [Em] [B] [Em]
[D] another fall, [Bm] and my [A] friends, [D] they don't help at [Bm] all.
[G] Feeling [A]
[D] cold, [A] [D] [C]
that's the time I [G] look up that rainy [D] day, man.
All I [C] gotta do is [G] call him up [D] one time.
[C] Look up [G] my rainy day.
[D] [C] Look up [G] my rainy day.
[D] I [G] wanna look up
[D] [C] my rainy day.
Look up my rainy day.
God, the heaven [G] raining day, [D] man.
[N]
Thank you.
