A7m Bb/F
A7m D6add9/A
A7 E7



[Verse 1]
        Am                          G
Between lightning and thunder three seconds the gap
  Am                          G
A warm candle glow keeps this wood room from black
   C                     G/C
My cat, she sleeps on an old clippy mat
Bb                     E7
Purring out echoes of faint pitter-pat



[Chorus]
       Am         G
As the rain pours down in the yard
A7m     Bb/F
Rain, a most haunting sound
A7m        D6add9/A
Rain makes beautiful music and
A7m         D6add9/A               A7   E7
Rain brings peace upon all whom it falls



[Verse 2]
      Am                  G
My subconscious and I are back on speaking terms
   Am                        G
He is sending me colours and beautiful words
    C                     G/C
And far, far away are the harsh city folk
    Bb                     E7
I'm surrounded by country, surrounded by night



[Chorus]
       Am         G
As the rain pours down in the yard
A7m     Bb/F
Rain, a most haunting sound
A7m        D6add9/A
Rain makes beautiful music and
A7m         D6add9/A               A7   E7
Rain brings peace upon all whom it falls


[Verse 3]
          Am                  G
Through a crack in the window meanders a breeze
         Am                            G
Aids the mimic of crickets through the rustling of leaves
        C                        G/C
And the ghost need not scare me, they're welcome within
   Bb                       E7
To share my rye whiskey and watch with me


[Chorus]
       Am         G
As the rain pours down in the yard
A7m     Bb/F
Rain, a most haunting sound
A7m        D6add9/A
Rain makes beautiful music and
A7m         D6add9/A               A7   E7
Rain brings peace upon all whom it falls
