G
The storm is raging
Winds are howling
No one is calling to rescue you
A flash of lightning
Our times are frightening
           C
A rain is coming
         A#         G
And the sun don't shine

Chorus:

Stormy rain day

Mayday
Stormy rain day
Stormy may day

The sky is darkening
The dogs are barking
A call for help
You hope they get you through
A clap of thunder
A split asunder
The people running
And the moon don't rise

Chorus:
Rain day
Mayday
Mayday
Stormy may day

Rain day
Mayday
Mayday
Stormy rain day
Stormy may day
