Rainy Day Man
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 3rd fret
Key: F
[Intro]
A Asus4 A Em/A
A D/A Em(add11) D/A
What good is that happy lie?
A D/A Em(add11) D/A A Bm7 F#m7 Em7
All you wanted from the start was to cry, girl
[Verse 1]
G/A Dmaj7 Bm7 F#m7 Em7
It looks like another fall
G/A Dmaj9 Bm7 F#m7 Em7
Your friends they don't seem to help at all
G/A Dmaj9 F#dim7
Now, when you're feelin' kind of cold and small
Em7 G/A Dmaj9 D Bm7 F#m7 Em7
Just look up your rainy day man
[Verse 2]
G/A Dmaj9 Bm7 F#m7 Em7
It does you no good to pretend, child
G/A Bm7 F#m7 Em7
You've made a hole much too big to mend
G/A Dmaj9 F#dim7
And it looks like you lose again, my friend
Em7 G/A D A/D D
So go on home and look up your rainy day man
[Bridge]
Bm A Gmaj7 F#m7
Now rainy day man he don't like sunshine
Bm A Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm
He don't chase rainbows, he don't need good times, no
A Gmaj7 F#m7
Grey days rolling, then you'll see him
Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7 G/A Bm7 F#m7 Em7
I said empty feeling, Lord now you need him
[Verse 3]
G/A Dmaj9 Bm7 F#m7 Em7
All those noble thoughts, they don't belong
G/A Dmaj9 Bm7 F#m7 Em7
Can't hide the truth with a happy song
G/A Dmaj9 F#dim7
And since you knew where you stood all along
Em7 G/A D A/D D
Just go call up your rainy day man
[Bridge]
Bm A Gmaj7 F#m7
Now simple pleasures they all evade you
Bm A Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm
Store-bought treasures, Lord none can save you, no now
A Gmaj7 F#m7
Look for signs to ease the pain
Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7 G/A Bm7 F#m7 Em7
I said ask again, go on and pray for rain
[Verse 4]
G/A Dmaj9 Bm7 F#m7 Em7
It looks like another fall
G/A Dmaj9 Bm7 F#m7 Em7
Your friends they don't seem to help at all
G/A Dmaj9 F#dim7
Now, when you're feeling kind of cold and small
Em7 G/A Dmaj9
Just look up your rainy day man
F#dim7 Em7 G/A D A/D D
All I need to do is look up my rainy day man.
[Outro]
A D/A Em(add11) D/A
Now, what good is that happy lie
A D/A Em(add11) D/A A
When all you wanted from the start was to cry?
