>>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.<<

Em C D
It's everybody's world, one man's grave
Em C Dsus2
And heaven only knows what's hidden up this late
Em C D
Using diamonds, clubs, and spades, he'll win your heart
Em C Dsus2
And build a house of cards, and build a house of cards

D Em C
'Til we all fall down
D Em C
And we all fall down
D Em C
Watch us all fall 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 scrape 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
D Em C
That make us all fall down
D Em C
And we all fall down
D Em C
Watch us all fall down
Em C Bm
Like black rain
Em C Bm
Like black rain
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)
