              RAINING IN MY HEART  
(BMI Work #001226895) 
Written by Boudleaux Bryant and Felice Bryant 
Published by House of Bryant Publications 
Recorded by Buddy Holly (1959) 
 
Instrumental Intro (Orchestral!) 
         C / / / C / / / Am / / / C7 / G G7 
 
         C               C  
     The sun is out, the sky is blue, 
                 Am             C7 
         There's not a cloud to spoil the view, 
                  F              G             C      C  Am G7 
         But it's raining,       Raining in my heart! 
 
 
     The weatherman   says clear today 
         He doesn't know   you've gone away 
         And it's raining,       raining in my heart! 
 
Bridge: 
         F       G             C  C  Am  C7 
         Oh, misery,      Misery 
         Dm                    G          G7   C  Am  G7 
         What's        gonna become    of me? 
 
         I tell my blues   they mustn't show, 
         But soon the tears   are bound to flow 
         'Cause it's raining,       raining in my heart! 
 
Instrumental:  (do twice) 
         C / / / C  / / / Am / / / C7 / / / 
              F              G             C        C  Am G7 
         It's raining,       Raining in my heart! 
 
Repeat Bridge

| This is my first hack at this. I found the "Complete Buddy Holly" | 
| 2-disk CD {UNI/MCA 7674 80000 4}. I put it in C for my own use,   | 
| you might need to Capo/Transpose! Anyway, if anyone has a better  | 
| one of it PLEASE post it!! Keep on Pickin' --Bob   |
