BLACKRAIN ' Jack Savoretti
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>A lot of picking in this one, I think I got most of it. As the song
progresses, the pattern becomes more and more elaborate, so try to
listen how he does it. You can, of course, strum your heart out as
well... Try it out.<<
Capo on second fret!

VERSE1 (pick as in intro)
[Em] A dirty rain is falling [C]at my [D]feet

It's [Em]everybody's world, [C]one man's [D]grave
And [Em]heaven only knows what's hidden [C]up this [Dsus2]late

'Til we [D]all [Em]fall [C]down
And we [D]all [Em]fall [C]down
Watch us [D]all [Em]fall [C]down
Em...
Like black rain
(...Em...C/G...Dadd4add9) x2
VERSE3 (more or less strummed, same chords as other verses)
The building's getting tall; watch it scrpe the sky
Can't see the stars at all through the city lights
When the fuel runs low, who cares if we're getting high?
It's not the things you know, but the things that you deny
CHORUS
That make us [D]all [Em]fall [C]down
And we [D]all [Em]fall [C]down
Watch us [D]all [Em]fall [C]down
Like black [Em]rain[C][Bm]
Like black [Em]rain[C][Bm]
VERSE4 (picking again, same as verse 1)
A dirty rain is falling at my feet
And people walk pretending not to see
And I don't know why everybody wants what they don't need
CHORUS
Well we all fall down
'Til we all fall down
Watch the oil fall down
Like black rain
Em C Bm (repeat until end)
Like black rain
(It's not always gonna rain)
(It's not always gonna rain)
(It's not always gonna rain)
(Black rain)
