Verse 1:
--------
    D   Cadd9                D     Cadd9  G
  Like April Showers on the slick cement
    D     Cadd9    D                Cadd9  G
  When I consider how our light is spent
    D      Cadd9        D           Cadd9  G
  Keeping the candles inside the cathedral
    D      Cadd9                    D
  Hold on tight, Don't go into the night
   Cadd9      G
  So full of evil

  Cadd9  G  Cadd9 G  D

Chorus:
-------
   G               D
  Rain rain don't go away
   Cadd9            Cadd9
  We need you this dry and dusty day
   G               D
  Rain rain don't go away
   Cadd9            Cadd9
  Though some may say please go away

I tried to break it up into sections where you can hear a "pause".  listen to the cd,
you'll see what i mean.

NOTE on Solo: 2 things about this.  1st, it is my interpretation, so the fingerings might
  be different than Derek's, but it sounds the exact same, i checked several times.

2nd, i play solo guitar, so i have added come chord inversions where usually cliff would
  play, to fill it out.  so sometimes there is _more_ here than on the CD.  as always,
  mail me if you are lost.

Verse 2: (Same as Verse 1)
--------

  Like the April Showers on the slick cement
  And the roads once straight have now become so bent
  Weaving through the trees of vain security
  Rounding round the hard rocks of hard morality

  Cadd9 G  D  (This time the Cadd9 G after verse is played only once)

Chorus (See above)

(Intro Lick is played ONCE)

Bridge:
-------
   Em      Am7
  And the sacred cows
   Em          Am7
  Feed on the green
   Em          Am7
  While the least of these
       Em           D     Barre-D (10th fret)
  Are dying on the streets

  And they're crying...

Chorus

Chorus

Outro:
------
  Pick through D-Cadd9-G slowly (ritard)
