But I (Bb)nev er gave in, so he gave up on (C)me.

(F)I’m no stran ger to the rain.

(Bb)I can spot bad weath er, and I’m good at find ing shel ter in a (F)down

I’ve been (C)sac ri ficed by broth ers, (Eb)cru ci fied by lov ers, but (Bb)through it all I with stood the (C)pain.

I’m no stran ger to the (F)rain.

When I (Bb)get that fog gy feel ing, (F)what I’m a feel ing now, if (Bb)I don’t keep my head, I may (F)drown.

But it’s (Dm)hard to keep be liev in’ if I’ll (Am)e ven come out e ven, while the (Bb)rain beats a hole in the (Gm)ground,

I’ll (C)put this cloud be hind me, that’s (Eb)how the man de signed me, to (Bb)ride the wind and dance in a hur ri cane.

I’m no stran ger to the (Dm)rain,

(Bb)I’m a friend of thun der.

Friend, is it an y won der light ning (F)strikes

But I’ll (C)put this cloud be hind me, that’s (Eb)how the man de signed me, to (Bb)ride the wind and dance in a hur ri cane.

I’m no stran ger to the (Dm)rain,

oh, (G7)no.

(Bb)I’m no (C)stran ger to the (F)rain.

Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.

Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
