Fm Cm Eb Db

[Verse 1]
Fm                Cm
Pull me in the rain
Eb                  Db
  I need a wake-up shower
Fm          Cm
Ordinary day
Eb            Db
  With many final hours
Fm                Cm
Why do I complain?

Oh rain on me

    Db                 Eb
For some it flows, for some it drips
    Fm             Eb
But most of us get none of it
   Db               Eb            Fm
To those in need of only a little sip
    Db           Eb
I'd cry a river just for you
   Fm                    Eb
So you can feed your children too
    Db             Eb            Fm
If all of us would give a little bit
