C Csus C Csus
Just outside my window I hear the late September dogs
C Csus C Csus
and I understand their warning, I understand their song
C Csus C Csus
Since you left, I feel a change in the air
C Csus C Csus
and night after night, I'm searching for mercy everywhere
[prechorus]:
C Csus
so I wake in the street and I call out your name
C F(strum)
and I shout to the sky please,
[chorus]: (strumming)
Am G
come on let it rain, let it rain down on me
F G
let the rain touch my hands let the rain set me free
[pattern1] C Csus C Csus
let it rain down on me
C Csus C Csus
silence is the steel that pierces and cuts me to the bone
in dreams the hand that touches you is mine, and mine alone
C Csus
cruel is the light, is the morning shining down on me
C Csus
hours with the devil to understand just what you need
[pre-chorus], 2nd line "..rain fill my eyes.."
chorus
[bass solo]
[pattern1]
C Csus C Csus
Just inside the distance, I hear the late September dogs
I so I beg for sleep, the child who walked before she crawled
C Csus C Csus
damn my soul that remembers and clutches to this pain
C F strum
the spear in your side is me come on let it ...
chorus
Am G
oh ho ho let it rain, let the rain fill my eyes
F G
I don't wanna see, no, let it rain down on me
[pattern1] C Csus C Csus
let it rain down on me oooh hooo
[outro]:
C Csus [pattern1] to fade
Fingering:
Alternative fingering for C and Csus :
C Csus
|_|_1_1_1_1 10th |_|_1_1_1_1 10th fret
3 3 3 3 3 3
4 4 4
If the C,Csus at the 10th fret is too trebly or hard on the fingers, it
also works playing C,Csus at the nut (or possibly C,F {bracketed}) like
this:
// C | x_____o___o
e-||-----------0----------|---------0--------|--- |_|_|_|_1_|
B-||.-------------(1)-----|------------1-----|--- |_|_|_|_|_|
G-||.-----------------(0)-|---------------0--|--- |_3_4_|_|_|
D-||----------------------|------------------|--- |_|_|_|_|_|
A-||---3----3-------------|--3----3----------|---
Csus or {F} \\ x_____o____
e--------------1----------|---------1---------||- |_|_|_|_1_1
B-----------------(1)-----|------------1-----.||- |_|_|_|_|_|
G---------------------(0)-|---------------0--.||- |_3_4_|_|_|
D-----{3}--{3}------------|-{3}--{3}----------||- |_|_|_|_|_|
A------3----3-------------|--3----3-----------||-
/
Arrangement:
If you don't have loads of bass guitar in the back, it might be better to
strum C,Csus or even C,F at the prechorus, rather than continuing picking
pattern 1.
