| Em . . . | C . . . | Am . . . | Em . . . | | F . . . | C . . . | G . . . | G . . . |

D C Scratch my back with a lightning bolt Am Em ...Thunder rolls like a bass drum note C D G The sound of the weather is heaven's ragtime band

D C We all fell down from the milky way Am Em Hanging 'round here till the judgement day F C D ...Heaven only knows whose in command

G D/F# Em D ...Barefoot children in the rain C G/B A D ...Got no need to explain G D/F# Em D ...We'd be swinging on a ball and chain C G/B Am Em ...Its always understood by those who play the game C D G ...Barefoot children in the rain

Show me yours and I'll show you mine Take me back to days full of monkey shines Bouncin' on a bubble full of trouble in the summer sun

Keep your raft from the riverboat Fiction over fact always has my vote And wrinkles only go where the smiles have been

Barefoot children in the rain Got no need to explain We'd be swinging on a ball and chain Its always understood by those who play the game Barefoot children in the rain [begin intro on "rain" w/ Em]

C G ...La la la, la la... La la la, la la C Em D ...La la la, la la la... C D G ...Barefoot children in the rain

Scratch my back with the lightning bolts Thunder rolls like a bass drum note The sound of the weather is heaven's ragtime band

The sky turns blue and the sun appears But the question's still what are we doing here I don't think the answer's close at hand

Barefoot children in the rain Got no need to explain We'd be swinging on a ball and chain Its always understood by those who play the game Barefoot children in the rain G [end on G, let ring] ...In the rain... in the rain
