Song: Rainy Day People
By:   Gordon Lightfoot

{capo fret 4}

[intro:]    |G     |G    |
 
[verse: 1]
|G                 |
 Rainy day people  always seem to know
           |Am          |Am
 When it's time to call
|C                      |D
 Rainy day people don't talk they just listen
              |G          |G  
 Till they've heard it all
|C
 Rainy day lovers
      |D                       |C                 |G         
Don't lie when they tell 'ya,  they bin down like you
|C
 Rainy day people
|D                       |C       G    |G 
 Don't mind if you cry a tear or two
 
 
[verse: 2]
|G                  |G
 If 'ya get lonely, all you really need
         |Am            |Am
 Is that rainy day love
|C
Rainy day people
    |D                     |C              G     |G  
All know there's no sorrow they can't rise above
|C
 Rainy day lovers
      |D                |C                |G
Don't love any others,  that would not be kind
|C
 Rainy day people
    |D                    |C        G     |
All know how it hangs on a piece of mind
 
 
[verse: 3] 
(The first half of verse 3 is guitar picking only)
|G             |G
|Am            |Am
|C             |D
|G             |G  

|C
 Rainy day lovers
      |D                     |C                      |G
Don't lie when they tell you they've been down there too
|C
 Rainy day people
      |D                |C      G    |
Don't mind if you cry a tear or two
 
[:guitar]    |G     |G    |
 
[verse: 4]
|G                 |G
 Rainy day people, always seem to know
             |Am           |Am
 When you're feeling blue
|C
 High stepping strutters
    |D                  |C          G      |G
Who land in the gutters sometimes need one too
|C
 Take it or leave it
   |D                  |C                      |G
Or try to believe it,  if you've been down too long
|C             
 Rainy day lovers 
      |D                          |C      G   |G 
don't hide love inside, they just pass it on

[coda:]
|C             
 Rainy day lovers 
      |D                          |C      G    {finish} 
don't hide love inside, they just pass it on
