 A        G      D         A
A misty shadow spread its wings
     D                A
And covered all the ground
    A      G         D       A
And even though the sun was out
     D                 A
The rain came pouring down

And all the light had disappeared
And faded in the gloom
There was no hope, no reasoning
This rainy day in June

The eagle spread its mighty wings
And pounced upon its prey
And all the skies, so brilliant blue
Turned suddenly to grey

The cherished things are perishing
And buried in their tomb
There is no hope, no reasoning
This rainy day in June

Chorus:
    D7                  A
And everybody felt the rain (Thunder)
D7                  A
Everybody felt the rain
D7                  A
Everybody felt the rain
D7                  A
Everybody felt the rain

The demon stretched its crinkled hand
And snatched a butterfly
The elves and gnomes were hunched in fear
Too terrified to cry

The reckoning was beckoning
They're living to their doom
There was no hope, no reasoning
This rainy day in June

Chorus

(Everybody felt the rain)
Everybody felt the rain
