Just Like The Rain (ver 2) Tab

Song: Just Like the Rain
Artist: Richard Hawley
Album: Cole's Corner (2005)
Tabbed by: LouVelvet

This is my first tab; I love this song.  It sounds pretty good on a lone acoustic guitar 
you play it like this.  Just listen to this wonderful song and play along and you'll 
it.

Main Riff: It's basically a D to D/A chord progession (Stretch that pinky!)

        D                  D/A
Walking silent through the snow
         D              D/A
Drifting softly to your door
           D           D/A
I'm coming home
           D           D/A
I'm coming home

CHORUS:

           Bm          D
But you're still in my mind
       Bm          D
You're still in my mind
    G                A           G              A
And here's where the sound of my tears hits the ground
              D (with end of main riff*) D/A                D           D/A
Just like the rain                           Just like the rain

VERSE 2: (Same as first verse)

REPEAT CHORUS:

MUSICAL BREAK: (Same as intro)

REPEAT CHORUS: At the end of the chorus repeat the lyrics "Just like the rain," two more 
and then end on one strum of a clean D chord

And there you have it.  I hope you enjoy playing this song as much as I do.
