E
Someone told me long ago;
There's a calm before the storm.
   B                      E
I know, it's been coming for some time.

When it's over, so they say;
It'll rain a sunny day.
I know, shining down like water.

Chorus:
A           B            E
I Want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
A           B            E
I Want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
A       B            E
Coming down a sunny day?

Yesterday, and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know, been that way for all my time

Until forever on it goes
Through the circle fast and slow
I know, and it can't stop, I wonder

Chorus

I Want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Coming down a sunny day?
