Now play the intro again strum more notes of each chord.
This is how you play it during the rest of the song.
Verse 1: (C*= Play C like in the intro with bass run)
Dm C*
We went out on the road today
Dm C*
And the sky was full of tears
Dm C*
And each small town looked so blue to me
Dm C*
And seemed to ache for better years
Dm Am
Then my cell phone started ringing wild
Dm C*
Like a fire alarm from hell
Dm Am
And When I picked it up a sad voice said
Dm C*
It’s time to ring that golden bell
Chorus:
Bb Am
And I was talkin’ to the Buddha
Dm C*
And I made the Buddha cry
Bb Am
And I was talkin’ to the Buddha
Dm C
And I realized that I-
Em
I’ve been causing all this rain
Play intro
Dm C*
He said meet me at Joe’s Diner
Dm C*
Where route 6 meets 88
Dm C*
Well I arrived at the appointed time
Dm C*
But the Buddha said you’re running late
Dm Am
So we both ordered an espresso
Dm C*
From the owner’s new machine
Dm Am
And as the jukebox played Nirvana
Dm C*
The Buddha said ignorance is mean
Play Chorus
Play Intro
Play Solo over intro chords
Dm C
The Buddha said the twelve gates wait for you
Dm C
And creation’s in travail
Dm C
Waiting for us all to see the light
Dm C
And restore what we have failed
Dm Am
The Waitress said you want a refill
Dm C
The Buddha said there’s no time
Dm Am
There’s three seconds left to zero
Dm C
And then that white light stole my mind
Play Chorus
Play a crazy sweet solo over the Intro chords(during Am say “help me stop the rainâ€)
End on Dm after playing Am

That's the song. Making it fit the lyrics can be challenging in places however.
Usually, Joe does some stuff during the veres which is too light to hear clearly.
I usually just fingerpick the corresponding chords.
Good luck. Suggestions to: adeagle18@stny.rr.com
