Rain Keeps Pouring Down
Written by Tom Hood

Chorus:
Rain keeps pouring down C/G
Rain keeps pouring down G/C
Rain keeps pouring down C7
Life is so boring F
Rain keeps pouring down G/C
Got a grass shack on the ...Big island C/G
With a tin roof and a ...floor of sand G/C
Me & my wives and the... little ones F/C
Are trapped inside coz ...there is no sun G/C
Chorus
And the Rain keeps pouring down (rain keeps pourin) C/G
The Rain keeps pouring down ((rain keeps pourin) G/C
Rain keeps pouring C7
Life's so boring F
The Rain keeps pouring down G/C
Rain so hard... the roof she leaks
Rains all nite and the... bed she creaks
Gotta get out of this ...one room shack
Gonna leave and ..never come back
