   C                       Csus                     C       Csus

  Just outside my window I hear the late September dogs

        C                       Csus                  C     Csus

  and I understand their warning, I understand their song

   C                Csus                 C       Csus

  Since you left, I feel a change in the air

       C                     Csus                  C        Csus

  and night after night, I'm searching for mercy everywhere

  

  

  

  [prechorus]:

        C                       Csus

  so I wake in the street and I call out your name

          C              F(strum)

  and I shout to the sky please,

  

  

  

  [chorus]: (strumming)

  

                 Am                     G

  come on let it rain, let it rain down on me

                     F                         G

  let the rain touch my hands let the rain set me free

  

             [pattern1] C    Csus   C    Csus

  let it rain down on me

  

  

  

       C                      Csus                       C       Csus

   silence is the steel that pierces and cuts me to the bone

  in dreams the hand that touches you is mine, and mine alone

  

  

        C                       Csus

  cruel is the light, is the morning shining down on me

    C                       Csus

  hours with the devil to understand just what you need

  

  

  [pre-chorus],  2nd line "..rain fill my eyes.."

  

  [chorus]

  

  [bass solo]

  

  

  [pattern1]

  C                           Csus                     C      Csus

  Just inside the distance, I hear the late September dogs

  I so I beg for sleep, the child who walked before she crawled

  

  

  C                   Csus                            C     Csus

  damn my soul that remembers and clutches to this pain

        C                   F[strum]

  the spear in your side is me come on let it ...

  

  [chorus]

  

           Am                                 G

  oh ho ho let it rain, let the rain fill my eyes

                 F                            G

  I don't wanna see, no, let it rain down on me

  

        [pattern1] C     Csus           C  Csus

  let it rain down on me       oooh hooo

  

  

  [outro]:

  

  C   Csus [pattern1] to fade

  

  

  Fingering:

  

  Alternative fingering for C and Csus :

      C                  Csus

  ___________         ___________

  |_|_1_1_1_1 10th    |_|_1_1_1_1  10th fret

  |_|_|_|_|_|         |_|_|_|_|_|

  |_|_|_3_3_3         |_|_|_3_3_3

  |_|_|_|_4_|         |_|_|_|_4_4

  

  

  If the C,Csus at the 10th fret is too trebly or hard on the fingers, it

  also works playing C,Csus at the nut (or possibly C,F {bracketed}) like

  this:

  

     // C                                      |     x_____o___o

  e-||-----------0----------|---------0--------|---  |_|_|_|_1_|

  B-||.-------------(1)-----|------------1-----|---  |_|_|_|_|_|

  G-||.-----------------(0)-|---------------0--|---  |_3_4_|_|_|

  D-||----------------------|------------------|---  |_|_|_|_|_|

  A-||---3----3-------------|--3----3----------|---

    

  

      Csus or {F}                                  x_____o____

  e--------------1----------|---------1---------||-  |_|_|_|_1_1

  B-----------------(1)-----|------------1-----.||-  |_|_|_|_|_|

  G---------------------(0)-|---------------0--.||-  |_3_4_|_|_|

  D-----{3}--{3}------------|-{3}--{3}----------||-  |_|_|_|_|_|

  A------3----3-------------|--3----3-----------||-

                                               //

  

  

  Arrangement:

  

  If you don't have loads of bass guitar in the back, it might be better to

  strum C,Csus or even C,F at the prechorus, rather than continuing picking

  pattern 1.
