          **************************************

  

  The flies have quit their buzzing

  A

  

  Even Bear has stopped his barking

       D

  

  They all sense something brewing

       E

  

  Up the James and headed this way

         D		     A    Asus2: lick

  

  Bobby sips his morning coffee

  Says have you finished with the funnies

  Looks like a storm is brewing honey

  guess we'll have to stay in bed today

  

  I've heard that into every life

  D

  

  A little of it must fall

     A		    D

  

  So she spends her evenings praying

  			   E

  

  For a little of that southern rain

  			D	A    Asus2

  

  

  Marie was born in Macon Georgia

  She met a west coast lawyer

  He plucked that sweet magnolia

  and carried her to the hills of West LA

  

  She says I never thought I'd tire of a dollar

  But this life has grown so hollow

  Every nite there's lipstick on his collar

  And every morning I wash it away

  

  She heard that into every life......etc

  

  <Now the tricky part...Btw i think i cocked up the first phrase

  of this verse, but ......>

  

  Cars alive on city streets,   of sparkling black water

  Gm        F#m			E		 A

  

  like waves beneath my window  never break just roll away

      F#m				    Bm		    E

  

  Tonite this rain will be my lullabye

  D	    E		      F#m  Bm

  

  These cars, my dreams  to carry me home to stay

  D		Bm	   E		    A    Asus2

  

  <Whew!>

  

  

  The wipers beat a rhythm   truck spray obscures my vision

  But I'm closing in on my destination

  Two more hours and I'll be at your door

  

  And it will never cease to amaze me

  How a little rain can drive folks crazy

  When I'd trade all my clear skies glady

  For your blue eyes   crooked smile

  and a steady downpour

  

  I've heard that into every life

  A little of it must fall

  but you'll never catch me complaining

  about too much of that southern rain

  

  Asus lick:   -------0-h-2--0-------b
