Lyrics
-------

Gentle rain
Here it comes again
Rattling round your window, threatening pain
Coming on like a friend, but you know better than
Yesterday that held you by a different hand

Hail and stone
And all thats gone
When everything that passes , cuts to the bone
Turning like a wheel dragging a heavy stone
A weight that ties you down that you will never own

Solo

Strange to see, a paper smile on thee
When once you moved and lit the room
For us all to be
Now if I could be the sun I'd shine in your life
If I could be the rain, I'd rain from your eyes
And I'd wash away the emptiness you feel inside


Solo
-----

Now, last but not least, the solo. For backing chords muck
around with verse chords.

play quickly(pre-bend the 8 and bend 10 down to the 8)
