---------------.................

*from 'So' (1986)*


Intro:

D/C

Chorus 1:

Cmaj7 D              Cmaj7     D
  Red rain is coming down, red rain.

Cmaj7 D               Cmaj7
  Red rain is pouring down,
        D              Em
Pouring down, all over me.

Verse 1:

     Em
I am standing up,
       D/E                Em
At the water's edge in my dream.
                D/E
I cannot make a single sound,
       Em
As you scream.

Em7               A/E
 It can't be that cold;
                    Em
The ground is still warm to touch,
And we touch,
                 D/E
This place is so quiet;
             C
Sensing that storm.

Chorus 2:

Cmaj7 D              Cmaj7     D
  Red rain is coming down, red rain.

Cmaj7 D               Cmaj7
  Red rain is pouring down,
        D              Em
Pouring down, all over me.

Verse 2:

          Em
Well I've seen them buried,
     D/E                     Em
In a sheltered place in this town.
                        D/E
They tell you that this rain can sting,
         Em
And look down.

Em7          A/E
 There is no blood around,
       Em
See no sign of pain. No pain,
          D/E                C
Seeing no red at all, see no rain.

Chorus 3:

Cmaj7 D              Cmaj7     D
  Red rain is coming down, red rain.

Cmaj7 D               Cmaj7
  Red rain is pouring down,
        D              Em
Pouring down, all over me.

D/C  G/C, Gsus4/C  G/C
D/A  G/A, Gsus4/A  G/A
D/Gb  G/Gb, Gsus4/F  G/F

Break:

G/F
 Putting the pressure on,
Much harder now;
To return again and again.

Just let the red rain splash you;
Let the rain fall on your skin.
I come to you defences down;
                    Em
With the trust of a child.

Chorus 4:

Cmaj7 D              Cmaj7     D
  Red rain is coming down, red rain.

Cmaj7 D               Cmaj7
  Red rain is pouring down,
        D              Em
Pouring down, all over me.

Bridge 2:

Em           C
 And I can't watch any more;
   Em
No more denial.
        C
It's so hard to lay down,
In all of this;

Chorus 5:

Cmaj7 D              Cmaj7     D
  Red rain is coming down, red rain.

Cmaj7 D               Cmaj7
  Red rain is pouring down,
        D              Em
Pouring down, all over me.
(I see it);

Cmaj7 D              Cmaj7     D
  Red rain is coming down, red rain.

Cmaj7 D               Cmaj7
  Red rain is pouring down,
        D              Em
Pouring down, all over me.
(I'm bathing in);

Cmaj7 D              Cmaj7     D
  Red rain is coming down, red rain.

Cmaj7 D               Cmaj7
  Red rain is pouring down,
        D              Em
Pouring down, all over me.
(I'm begging you);

Coda:

Cmaj7 D              Cmaj7
  Red rain is coming down,
Cmaj7 D              Cmaj7
  Red rain is coming down.

Cmaj7 D              Cmaj7
  Red rain is coming down,
Cmaj7 D              Cmaj7
  Red rain is coming down.
     D          Cmaj7    Dsus4
Over me, in the red, red sea,
     Cmaj7  Dsus4
Over me,
     Em
Over me, red rain.

*CAPO 3rd FRET*

(Original Key: C)


Verse 1:

   Am                 G/A     Am
In this proud land we grew up strong;
G/B      C            F/C   C
 We were wanted all a-long.
                G      C/G       G
I was taught to fight, taught to win;
        Am        G/A   Am
I never thought I could fail.

Verse 2:

Am                 G/A   Am
 No fight left, or so it seems,
       G/B       C                  F/C C
I am a man whose dreams have all de-ser-ted.
                G          C/G        G
I've changed my face, I've changed my name,
           Am        G/A      Am
But no one wants you when you lose.

Chorus 1:

F/D         C/E
 Don't give up;
         Am7/F
'Cos you have friends.
F/D         C/E
 Don't give up;
           Am/F
You're not beaten yet,
F/D         C/E
 Don't give up;
  F            G
I know you can make it good.

Verse 3:

Am               G/A   Am
 Though I saw it all a-round;
G/B    C                     F/C C
 Never thought I could be af-fec-ted.
                  G      C/G     G
Thought that we'd be the last to go;
         Am              G/A    Am
It is so strange the way things turn.

Verse 4:

Am                  G/A     Am
 Drove the night to-ward my home,
G/B             C                  F/C  C
 The place that I was born; on the lake-side.
            G       C/G     G
As daylight broke I saw the earth;
              Am          G/A    Am
The trees had burned down to the ground.

Chorus 2:

F/D         C/E
 Don't give up;
          Am7/F
You still have us,

 Don't give up;

We don't need much of anything.
F
 Don't give up;
     Abm                 C           F/C   C
'Cos somewhere there's a place where we be-long.

Bridge:

          G     C/G  G
Rest your head,
	      C    F/C  C
You worry too much,
                    G     C/G  G
It's going to be al-right.

     C
When times get rough;
             F       C
You can fall back on us.
           C   G                  C   F/C  C
Don't give up, please, don't give up.

Break:

       C
Got to walk out of here;
        G
I can't take anymore.
         C
Going to stand on that bridge,
        F
Keep my eyes down below.

     C
What-ever may come,
         G
And what-ever may go;
             C
That river's flowing,
G             C        F/C  C
 That river's flowing.

Verse 5:

Am             G/A    Am
 Moved on to a-nother town;
G/B    C              F/C   C
 Tried hard to settle down.
          G       C/G  G
For every job; so many men,
        Am     G/A Am
So many men no-one needs.

 Don't give up;
             Am/F
No reason to be ashamed,
F/D         C/E
 Don't give up;

You still have us.

F/D         C/E
 Don't give up now;

We're proud of who you are,

 Don't give up;

You know it's never been easy.

F/D         C/E
 Don't give up;

-------------------.................

*from 'So' (1986)*


Intro:

D  Bm, D  G (x4)

Verse 1:

D  Bm     D  G
    Love...
  D      Bm   D    G
I get so lost some-times.
D  Bm          D  G
    Days pass,
    D    Bm        G        D
And this emptiness fills my heart.

D  Bm           G  D
    When I want to run away,
D  Bm        G     D
 I drive off in my car.
D  Bm         D    G
    But which-ever way I go,
D       Bm          D         G
 I come back to the place you are.

Bridge 1:

A                 G
 All my instincts,
They return,
A                     G
 And the grand facade,
So soon will burn.

A                D  G
 Without a noise,
Without my pride,
A                     G       Bm
 I reach out from the inside...

Break:

Bm

Chorus 1:

        E
In your eyes, the light, the heat,
A
 (Your eyes), I am complete.
E
 (Your eyes), I see the doorway,
A
 (Your eyes) to a thousand churches.
E
 (Your eyes), the resolution,
A                                 E
 (Your eyes) to all the fruitless searches.
             A                           E
(Your eyes), oh, I see the light and the heat,
             A                   E
(Your eyes), I wanna be that com-plete.
                     A
(Your eyes), I wanna touch the light,

The heat I see in your eyes.

 I don't like to see so much pain,
D  Bm    D    G
    So...much wasted,
D         Bm           D          G 
 And this moment keeps slipping a-way.

D  Bm     D  G
    I get so tired,
   D          Bm       D       G
Of working so hard for our sur-vival,
D  Bm      D
    I look to the,
G
 Time with you,
D   Bm            D     G
 To keep me awake and a-live.

 And the grand facade,
So soon will burn.

A                D  G
 Without a noise,
Without my pride,
A                     G       Bm
 I reach out from the inside...

In your eyes, (your eyes),
E                     A

In your eyes, the light, the heat,

 All of the buildings,

 All of the cars.

 Nowhere in the corridors,

Of pale green and grey.

 Nowhere in the suburbs,

In the cold light of day.

 There in the midst of it,
     Am7
So a-live and alone.

 Words support like bone.

In your daddy's arms a-gain.

Con-fessing all the secret things,
       Am7
In the warm velvet box,
       F
To the priest; he's the doctor,
       Dm7
He can handle the shocks.

The tremble in the hips;

Of kissing Mary's lips.

 Mer-cy Street,

In your daddy's arms a-gain.
