Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 I could blame it on the moon

 For calling me out to-night

 Maybe I'm just a little bit lonesome, baby

 And maybe my head ain't right

 I could walk down to the station

 See my reflection on the ground

Receeding in the ripples

 But I do not hear a sound

 I don't hear a sound

 The devil she comes to me says

 "Boy, do you wanna go out to-night?"

 She's got a fourty ounce hurricane in her left hand

 And a fourty-five in her right

 You're dying just to touch her

 And your heart just wants to scream

 So you pull her just a little bit closer

 And pre-tend its all just a dream

 'Cause it's just a dream

Chorus

 Oh and I....... ain't the man I wanna be

 They call it freedom as you're reaching for your chains

 Oh and I....... am haunted by the memo-ries

 Of who I used to be when I didn't hate the rain

 Like I hate the rain

 I could blame it on the moon

 For calling me out to-night

 Maybe I'm just a little bit lonely, baby

 And maybe my head ain't right

 I ain't trying to sing the blues

 It's bloody fingers and guitar strings

 Twelve bars is just a prison

 When there's nothing else left to sing

 There's nothing left to sing

[REPEAT CHORUS]

 I hate the rain

 Like I hate the rain

 I hate the rain
