Em    C    D    Bm   D

[Verse]
    G                    
Sen aamun vielä muistan, 
      Em
aamun sateisen
    G                
kun heräsin mä tähän 
        Em
tyhjään huoneeseen
D              C      
hiljaa nousin, hiljaa 
       D          C    C
verhot huoneen avasin
G                     Em
Sade harmaa koristeli ikkunaa
G                    
jotenkin se lohdutti 
    Em
mua soitollaan
D         C           
huone takanani kuiski 
D            C
hiljaa muistojaan
      D          Bm   D
niitä jotka satuttaa

Em         D         C         D
Sade, tule ystäväni, tule taas
Em           D          C         D
tule, tuo se tulva joka puhdistaa
Em           D        C
sade, huuhdo ikkunani maailmaan
D          Em
 tule uudestaan

[Verse]
      G            
Sanat joilla liian 
       Em
paljon luvattiin
G                     
polttivat kun lähdit, 
      Em
satoi silloinkin
D          C       
Kauan tuli hiipui, 
       D           C     C
sammui uusiin sateisiin
G                     Em
ikkunasta valo sisään lankeaa
G                       Em
Varjot huoneen seiniltä putoaa
D             C        
sateen tieltä muistosi 
D          C
täältä pakenee
D            Bm    D
 haihtuu eiliseen

Sade, tule ystäväni, tule taas

tule, tuo se tulva joka puhdistaa
Em           D        C
sade, huuhdo ikkunani maailmaan
Em         D         C         D
Sade, tule ystäväni, tule taas
Em           D          C         D
tule, tuo se tulva joka puhdistaa
Em         D         C         D
sade, tule ystäväni, tule taas
