Am the rain came down Fmaj7 the rain came down Am G F the rain came down on me. The wind blew strong And summer's song Fades to memory I knew you when I loved you then In summer's yawn now helpless You laid me bare You marked me there The promises we made Chorus: C Am Em I used to think as birds take wing F they sing through life so why can't we? C Am Em you cling to this, you claim your best F if this is what you're offering C Am Em F I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain The nighttime creases Summer schemes And stretches out to stay The sun shines down You came around You loved the easy days But now the sun The winter's come I wanted just to say That if I hold I'd hoped you'd fold Open up inside, inside of me Chorus This winter's song I'll sing along I've searched its still refrain I'll walk alone If given this, take wing Celebrate the rain Chorus I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Em  F  Fm  Fmaj7  Fmaj  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
