Lyrics

(F)Rain drops keep fall in’ on my (Fmaj7)head,

and (F7)just like the guy whose feet are (Bb)too big for his (Am7)bed, (D7)noth in’ (D9)seems to (Am7)fit.

(D7)Those (Gm7)rain drops are fall in’ on my head.

They keep fall in’

so I (C)just (F)did me some talk in’ to the (Fmaj7)sun.

And (F7)I said I did n’t like the (Bb)way he got things (Am7)done.

(D7)Sleep in’ (D9)on the (Am7)job.

(D7)Those (Dm7)rain drops are fall in’ on my head.

They keep fall in’!

But there’s (C)one (F)thing

I know

(B7)the blues they send to meet me won’t (C7)de feat (Am7)me.

It won’t be long

till (Bb9)hap pi ness steps up to (Gm9)greet (Gm7)me.

(F)Rain drops keep fall in’ on my (Fmaj7)head,

but (F7)that does n’t mean my eyes will (Bb)soon be turn in’ (Am7)red.

(D7)Cry in’s (D9)not for (Am7)me

(D7)’cause

(Gm7)I’m nev er gon na stop the rain by com plain in’.

Be cause (C)I’m (F)free

noth in’s (Bb)wor ry in’ (F)me.
