Verse:

	     D                     Am
	The rain has followed me through the mist
	    C      G       D
	Of sorrow that surrounded me
	    (D)              Am
	The sun could never thaw away
	      C         G      D
	The bliss that lays around me

Chorus:

	        D    Am         D   Am
	Let it rain,    let it rain
	          C         G      D
	Let your love rain down on me
	        D    Am         D   Am
	Let it rain,    let it rain
	        C     G   [1,3: D   2,4: A; to intro]
	Let it rain, rain, rain

Verse 2:

	My life was like a desert flower

	Until I found the way to love
	Was harder said than done

Eric Clapton - Let It Rain cover
I do not intend any copyright infringement. This is me playing my favorite Eric Clapton track. I don't have a backing track for this song so I'm playing along with the audio from his concert at Madison Square Garden on June 30, 2004. Some of the solo is hard to hear but its just such a great song that I wanted to share it.
