This next one is one of mine.
It's sort of a reflection of [G] my teenage years and
I came from the beatnik [C] era in America.
They labeled it the beatnik era anyway.
I read Jack Kerouac and I dug progressive [Gm] jazz [Ab] and got kicked out of
schools and hitchhiked across [G] America and the whole bit you see.
And I met a lot of
wonderful people.
The relationships were ephemeral but some of the best I've ever
known and this is a song about it.
[Ab]
[Db]
It's raining today and I'm just about to [Eb] forget
the [Dbm] train [Gb] window [Ab] girl that [Db]
wonderful day we met.
She [B] smiles through the smoke [Ab] from [Db] my
cigarette.
It's raining today but once there was [Eb] summer and you [Ab] [Db]
and [Gb] dark little
[Ab] room [Db] and sleeping late afternoons those [B] moments descend on [Db] my window pane.
[Ab] [G] [Ab]
[Bm] I've
hung around too [E] long [Abm] listening to the [B] old [Ab] landlady's hard luck stories.
[Bm] You out of
me and me out of [E] you we go like lovers [Ab] to replace that empty space.
[Abm] [A] Repeat our dreams
[Db] to someone [Ab] new.
[Db]
It's raining today and I watch the cellophane streets.
No [Ab] hangouts
for me cause [Db]
[Ab] [Db] hangups need company.
The [B] street corner girls are [Ab] cold [Db] tremblingly.
It's [B] raining
today.
It's [Db] raining today.
