Rain please go away! 
                             D 
Leave me alone, come another day.

A 
It's tough to live the whole day through. 
                         D 
Thinkin' of her is all I do! 
            A               D 
She's happy now, and I'm so blue. 
E                     A 
Rain, she's cold like you.

If only the time wouldn't drag so slow.

Find a new love and let it grow. 
              A                          D 
I'm kiddin' myself, it don't happen that way.

Rain, please go away.
