------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKRAIN ?? Jack Savoretti ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>A lot of picking in this one, I think I got most of it. As the song progresses, the pattern becomes more and more elaborate, so try to listen how he does it. You can, of course, strum your heart out as well... Try it out.<< Capo on second fret!

Like black rain (...Em...C/G...Dadd4add9) x2 VERSE3 (more or less strummed, same chords as other verses) The building's getting tall; watch it scr*pe the sky Can't see the stars at all through the city lights When the fuel runs low, who cares if we're getting high? It's not the things you know, but the things that you deny CHORUS D Em C That make us all fall down D Em C And we all fall down D Em C Watch us all fall down Em Bm Like black rain Em Bm Like black rain VERSE4 (picking again, same as verse 1) A dirty rain is falling at my feet And people walk pretending not to see And I don't know why everybody wants what they don't need CHORUS Well we all fall down 'Til we all fall down Watch the oil fall down Like black rain Em C Bm (repeat until end) Like black rain (It's not always gonna rain) (It's not always gonna rain) (It's not always gonna rain) (Black rain) =============================================================
