G                   C                   G

Long as I remember, rain's been falling down.

G                         C                G

Clouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the ground.

C                    G    C                  G

Good men through the ages tryin' to find the sun.

C            D               Em              G

And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain?

 

I went down Virginia seeking shelter from the storm.

Caught up in a fable, watched the tower grow.

Five-year plans and New Deals wrapped in golden chains.

And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain?

 

INSTRUMENTAL OVER:  C   G  D  Am  C  Em  D  G

 

Heard the singers' playing, how we cheered for more.

The crowd had rushed together, just tryin to keep warm.

Still the rain kept fallin', fallin' on my ears.

And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain...?

 

G   Em  [repeat and out]
