 Violent Femmes - It's Gonna Rain Lyrics

Transcribed by wes torres
Now who, who, who do you think i am?
Well, i built this ark with japheth, shem, and ham.
Now what, what, what do you think it's gonna do
When i live by faith and now my work is through?

It's gonna rain [it's gonna rain]
c7?19214b1821314o??1l
I said it's gonna rain [it's gonna rain]
c7?19214b1821314o??1l
Yes, it's gonna rain [it's gonna rain.]
I'm so happy to say [it's gonna rain]
c7?19214b1821314o??1l
Oh it's gonna rain [it's gonna rain] on the world today

Now when, when, when i am in doubt
And i think that things for me will never work out,
But where, where, where the heart is true,
Ya know lord, your god, will never forsake you.

It's gonna rain [it's gonna rain]
c7?19214b1821314o??1l
I said it's gonna rain [it's gonna rain]
c7?19214b1821314o??1l
Yes, it's gonna rain [it's gonna rain.]
I'm so happy to say [it's gonna rain]
c7?19214b1821314o??1l
Oh it's gonna rain [it's gonna rain] on the world today

Repeat verse 1 [drums only]

It's gonna rain [it's gonna rain]
c7?19214b1821314o??1l
I said it's gonna rain [it's gonna rain]
c7?19214b1821314o??1l
Yes, it's gonna rain [it's gonna rain.]
I'm so happy to say [it's gonna rain]
c7?19214b1821314o??1l
Oh it's gonna rain [it's gonna rain] on the world today
Forty days and forty nights [it's gonna rain]
c7?19214b1821314o??1l
Forty days and forty nights [it's gonna rain]
c7?19214b1821314o??1l
Hallileua, it's alright [it's gonna rain]
c7?19214b1821314o??1l
Everybody's sleepin' tight [it's gonna rain]
c7?19214b1821314o??1l
Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's gonna rain tonight.
Repeat chorus three times
