Into every life a little rain must fall, or so they say. And unless you live in the desert or at the poles you will likely agree. Sometimes the rain is refreshing and cooling on a hot summer day, or it can be dreary and bone chilling in the fall. As usual it is all about perspective and songwriters are definitely inspired by the rain. If you are out of song ideas you can always write about water falling from the sky. Here are some great songs about rain that are perfect for playing on the ukulele.

Am                         F
Here comes the rain again, falling on head like a memory,
G                               Am
Falling on my head like a new emotion
Am                                F
I want to dance in the open rain, i want to kiss like lovers do,
G                                        Am
Want to do dive into your ocean, is it raining with you?

F                         C
So baby talk with me like lover do
F                    C
Walk with me like lovers do
F                      C             D             G
Talk with me like lovers do


Am                         F
Here comes the rain again, falling on head like a memory,
G                               Am
Falling on my head like a new emotion
Am                                F
I want to dance in the open rain, i want to kiss like lovers do,
G                                        Am
Want to do dive into your ocean, is it raining with you?

There are five easy chords for the ukulele in this Eurythmics song.

Here Comes The Rain


G                      C                G
Long as I remember the rain been comin' down
G                         C                G
Clouds of myst'ry pourin' confusion on the ground
C                     G    C                  G
Good men through the ages, tryin' to find the sun
C             D               Em              G
and I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain
G                            C                G
I went down Virginia seekin' shelter from the storm
G                        C                 G
Caught up in the fable I watched the tower grow
C                   G          C                 G
Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chain
C             D               Em              G
and I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain

G                          C                  G
Heard the singers playin', how we cheered for more
G                             C              G
The crowd has rushed together tryin' to keep warm
C                   G        C             G
Still the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my ears
C            D              Em
And I wonder still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

This CCR tune is probably one of the most famous songs written about rain. And like most CCR it isn’t too hard to play on the ukulele.

Who'll Stop The Rain

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head
by B. J. Thomas


Intro: F-C-Bb-C

F                            Fmaj7
Raindrops keep falling on my head
    F7                               Bb               Am
and just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed,
D7               Am   D7    Gm7
nothing seems to fit, Those raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin'

C7        F                          Fmaj7
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun,
    F7                       Bb                 Am
and I said I didn't like the way he got things done
D7              Am   D7    Gm7
Sleepin' on the job, Those raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin'

C7              F       Fmaj7
But there's one thing I know,
     Bb                C              Am
the blues they send to meet me, won't defeat me
                      D7              Gm7           Bb  C  Bb  C
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

  F                          Fmaj7
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,
    F7                             Bb               Am
but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red,
D7              Am   D7    Gm7
Cryin's not for me, cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
C7          F     C7
because I'm free, nothings worryin' me

(instrumental) F-Fmaj7-Bb-C-Am

                      D7              Gm7           Bb  C  Bb  C
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

(Repeat last verse)

Another classic song about the rain, with a couple examples of major and minor 7th chords.

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

C C4 C C4 C
Oh, were have you been, my blue-eyed son?
C G7
Oh, were have you been, my darling young one?
F G7 C
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
F G7 C
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
F G7 C
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
F G7 C
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
F G7 C
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard.
Refrain:
C G7 C F
And its's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard.
C G7 C C4 C
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Remember most Bob Dylan songs are the same chords throughout, and usually easy chords. The key is to be able to fit all the lyrics in when singing.

Hard Rain

Fire and Rain
James Taylor 

C A# F C  C G A#  C

               Gm                  F             C   Csus2 C
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone 
            G                      A#
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you 
  C               Gm            F               C   Csus2 C
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song 
               G             A#         A#
I just can't remember who to send it to 

          F        Dm        C   Csus2 C
I've seen fire and I've seen rain 
          F                 Dm                  C  Csus2 C
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end 
          F                   Dm               C      Csus2 C
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend 
      A#                       Gm       C   C7
But I always thought that I'd see you again 

          C                  Gm
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus 
              F              C    Csus2 C
You've got to help me make a stand 
                   G               A#
You've just got to see me through another day 
C         Gm            F          C   Csus2 C
My body's aching and my time is at hand 
            G           A#        A#
And I won't make it any other way 

              F        Dm        C   Csus2 C
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain 
          F                 Dm                  C  Csus2 C
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end 
          F                   Dm               C      Csus2 C
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend 
      A#                       Gm       C   C7
But I always thought that I'd see you again 

     C                     Gm            F                       C  Csus2 C
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun 
                    G                     A#
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around 
              C                    Gm                F                     C  Csus2 C
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come 
                 G                  A#                    A#
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground 

              F        Dm        C   Csus2 C
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain 
          F                 Dm                  C  Csus2 C
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end 
          F                   Dm               C      Csus2 C
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend 
      A#                       Gm                            C   C7
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again 

            A#                Gm    C
Thought I'd see you one more time again 
               A#                    Gm             C
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now 
            A#                    Gm               C
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain, now . . .

Despite the rumors this great James Taylor song is not about a lover who died in a plane crash.

The E and Esus4 chord may give you a little trouble in this Willie Nelson tune.

Blue Eyes Cryin In The Rain

Intro chords: C G Am F

C                          G      
She's my kinda rain like love in a drunken sky
Am                       F
She's confetti falling down all night
C                        G
She sits quietly there black water in a jar
Am                        F
  Says Baby why are you trembling like you are
      Dm         G          Dm             F 
So I wait and I try And I confess like a child

CHORUS:
F                 C     G      F  
She's my kind of rain
       F                  C  G     F      
Like love from a drunken sky
F                C  G         F  
Confetti falling   down all night
F                  C
She's my kind of rain


C                         G   
She's the sun set shadows   she's like Rembrandt's light
Am                           F  
  She's the history that's made at night
C                         G 
  She's my lost companion   she's my dreaming tree
Am                          F 
  Together in this brief e-ternity
        Dm           G              Dm           F
Summer days winter snows She's all things to be-hold


     Dm          G       Dm            F    
So I wait and I try I confess all my crimes

Comparing a lady to the rain is a little strange, but Tim McGraw wasn’t the first to do it. Mark Sandman of the band Morphine did it in the song “You Look Like Rain.”

Shes My Kind Of Rain

Intro: E5  E  D  E  D  E  D   E  D

E                         D
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

  A                         G      E      E7
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain

    E                    D
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two

    A                         G         E     E7
and speak my point of view but it's not sane, It's not sane

E              D              E           D 
   I just want    some one to say to me   oh,

And I don't understand why I sleep all day

      A                       G         E     E7 
And I start to complain that there's no rain

    E                      D 
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake

   A                           G           E 
It rips my life away, but it's a great escape


Escape, escape, esca-a-aye-ape......

Solo: E  D  E  D

E                        D

I'm only happy when it rains
                            F            D

My only comfort is the night gone black

I'm only happy when it rains

Pour some misery down on me
                       Am
I'm only happy when it rains

This song isn’t too hard to play and by the 90’s band Garbage. Some of us are only happy when it rains.

Only Happy When It Rains

VERSE 1 
F#                                G#
You had my heart, and we'll never be world apart
Fm                           Bbm      
Maybe in magazines, but you'll still be my star
F#                        G#
Baby cause in the Dark, You can see shiny Cars 
Fm
And that's when you need me there 
Bbm
With you I'll always share



REFRAIN
F#
Because 
F# 
When the sun shines
C#
We'll shine together 
G#
Told you I'll be here forever 
Bbm
That I'll always be your friend 
F#
Took an oath Imma stick it out 'till the end
C#
Now that it's raining more than ever
G#
Know that we still have each other 
Bbm
You can stand under my Umbrella (2x)

G#
Under my umbrella

(ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh) 


VERSE 2

These fancy things, will never come in between
G#                Bbm
You're part of my entity, Here for Infinity
F#
When the war has took its part
G#
When the world has dealt its cards
Fm                            Bbm
If the hand is hard, Together we'll mend your heart

(Come into Me) 
(There's no distance in between our love)

Couldn't Stand The Weather

G      Em
I found a love for me
               C                         D
Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead
                G                 Em
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
                   G                         Em
But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

               G                    Em
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds
                  C               G  D
I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime
               G                            Em 
Darling just hold my hand, be my girl, I’ll be your man
          C              D
I see my future in your eyes



       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D               Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

E                              B                 A
I don't have much to give, but I don't care for gold
A           G#             F#m                     E
What use is money, when you need someone to hold
E                              B               A
Don't have direction I'm just rolling down this road
A           G#             F#m                     E
Waiting for you to bring me in from out the cold

        F#m                                 G#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
   F#m                               B
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

E                            A/F#m
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring
A           G#         F#m      E
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
E                            A/F#m
Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me
C#m         F#7     A       E
Leave your lover, leave him for me

E                               B              A
We sit in bars and raise our drinks to growing old
A       A/G#                F#m         E
I'm in love with you and you will never know
E                              B             A
But if I can't have you I'll walk this life alone
A              G#              F#m            E
Spare you the rising storms and let the river flow

        F#m                                 G#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
    F#m                              B
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

E                             A/F#m
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring

Can't keep this beating heart at bay
E                           A/F#m
Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me
C#m         F#7     A         E
Leave your lover, leave him for me

Leave your lover, leave him for me

Leave Your Lover

Intro -- Dm

Dm                       F
This is the song where I listen

Bb                       G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                     F
I called the dogs off all the things I?m missing

       Bb
And to everyone but you before I set sail


       G          Eb         Bb
I said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
These are tough times

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm                         F
This is the song where you speak up

Bb                             G
This is the song where you get moving

    Dm                            F
You cried some trouble out into a tea cup

       Bb
And to me but no-one else before you threw it



         G          Eb         Bb
You said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
These are tough times 

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm F Bb G (4 times)


Dm                            F
I put ashore in front of our apartment

    Bb                                       G
And watched you comb the stoop for shards of porcelain

     Dm                                         F
Satisfied that there were none that broke the silence

          Bb
And after this I promise not to interrupt again


      Dm                       F
Cause this is the song where I listen

Bb                       G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                     F
Until our heartbeats drown out the clock ticking

        Bb
And the song is just I love you and always will


G          Eb         Bb
Good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck

Em C G D 


[1st Verse]

Em          C
Full of despair
G         D
iside a darkness
Em               C
Self-conscious and scared
       G          D
held prisoner of war

Em             C
Running out of air
G              D
buried in the sadness
Em         C
want a way out
         G          D
of this paralyzing word

         C             G
And the sound of the cries
        Em                 D
when a families loved one dies
    C                 G
It echoes throught a vacant room
         Em                 D      C
where a young soul still resides


[Chorus]

          Em       C
When the night is cold
         G                 D
and you feel like no one knows
           Em             C
what it's like to be the only one
 G              D
buried in this hole
                        Em     C G D
You can make it to the sunrise
                        Em     C G D
You can make it to the sunrise


[2nd Verse]

Em               C
Searching for a way
G              D
to escape the madness
   Em             C
a dire need for change
       G                D
as we fight for better days

     C            G
The hurt and the pain
      Em                D
cut deep like a razor blade
 C             G
holding in a cry for love
  Em             D     C
abandoned and afraid


[Chorus]

          Em       C
When the night is cold
         G                 D
and you feel like no one knows
           Em             C
what it's like to be the only one
 G              D
buried in this hole

                        Em     C G D
You can make it to the sunrise
                        Em     C G D
You can make it to the sunrise


[Bridge]

C                  G
I won't go to my grave
Em        D            C    G Em D
until a difference is made

C                  G
I won't go to my grave
Em             D       C    
until a difference is made
           G            Em       D
(until a difference is made)

          Em       C
When the night is cold
         G                 D
and you feel like no one knows
           Em             C
what it's like to be the only one
 G              D
buried in this hole

                        Em     C G D
You can make it to the sunrise
                        Em     C G D
You can make it to the sunrise

[Verse 1]

Gm7           Am7 A7aug  Dm
 Lent you Out-si -daz,   and my new Badu.
Bm7b5        Bbmaj7    A7aug           Dm
 While I was thinking, I didn't have a clue.

Gm7       Am7  A7aug  Dm
 Tough to sort files,  with your voice in my head.
Bm7b5                 Bbmaj7      A7aug           Dm
 So then I bribed you downstairs, with a Marlboro Red.


[Bridge 1]

   Em7b5         A7aug           Dm
So now I feel so small, discover-ing you knew.
Em7b5          A7aug                  Dm
 How much more torture would you have put me through?
    Em7b5           A7aug       Dm
You probably saw me laughing at all your jokes.
   Em7b5         A7aug               Dm
Or how I did not mind when you stole all my smokes.


[Chorus 1]

Cm/F             Ebmaj7              Dm7b5 G7   Cm
 And although my pride, yeah, is not easy  to dis-turb,
Cm/F         Ebmaj7           Dm7b5     G7   Cm
 You sent me flying, when you kicked me to the kerb.
Cm/F                Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7     Cm
 With your battered jeans, and your Beasties tee,
Cm/F                   Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7    Cm
 Now I can't work like this,  with you next to me.


[Verse 2]

Gm7                 Am7 A7aug  Dm
 And although he is no -thing,  in the scheme of my years,
Bm7b5              Bbmaj7    A7aug      Dm
 It just serves to bludgeon,  my futile tears.

Gm7          Am7     A7aug  Dm
 And I'm not used to this;   I observe, I don't chase.
Bm7b5                        Bbmaj7   A7aug        Dm
 But now I'm sick with conse-quences, thrust in my face.


[Bridge 2]

        Em7b5      A7aug        Dm
And the melodramas of my day de-livery blows,
     Em7b5           A7aug            Dm
That surpass your re-jection; it just goes to show.
  Em7b5              A7aug               Dm
A simple attraction, that reflects right back to me,
       Em7b5       A7aug        Dm
So I'm not as into you, as I ap-pear to be.


[Chorus 2]

Cm/F             Ebmaj7              Dm7b5 G7   Cm
 And although my pride, yeah, is not easy  to dis-turb,
Cm/F         Ebmaj7           Dm7b5     G7       Cm
 You sent me flying, when you kicked me to the kerb.
Cm/F                Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7     Cm
 With your battered jeans, and your Beasties tee,
Cm/F                   Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7    Cm
 Now I can't work like this,  with you next to me.


[Verse 3]

Gm7              Am7 A7aug  Dm
 His message was bru-tal,    but the delivery was kind.
Bm7b5       Bbmaj7   A7aug             Dm
 Maybe if I get this down, I'll get it off my mind.

Gm7               Am7    A7aug  Dm
 It serves to con-dition me,     and smoothen my kinks,
Bm7b5            Bbmaj7           A7aug       Dm
 Despite my frus-tration, for the way that he thinks.


[Bridge 3]

      Em7b5                    A7aug             Dm
And I knew the speech, when it came, would be to that effect,
   Em7b5                     A7aug           Dm
At least you're attracted to me, which I did not expect.
       Em7b5              A7aug           Dm
Didn't think you'd get my number down and such,
         Em7b5       A7aug         Dm
But I've never hated myself for my age, so much.


[Chorus 3]

Cm/F             Ebmaj7              Dm7b5 G7   Cm
 And although my pride, yeah, is not easy  to dis-turb,
Cm/F         Ebmaj7           Dm7b5     G7       Cm
 You sent me flying, when you kicked me to the kerb.
Cm/F                Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7.       Cm
 With your battered jeans, and your Beasties tee,
Cm/F                   Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7     Cm
 Now I can't work like this,  with you next to me.


[Chorus 4]

Cm/F             Ebmaj7              Dm7b5 G7     Cm
 And although my pride, yeah, is not easy  to dis-turb,
Cm/F         Ebmaj7           Dm7b5     G7     Cm
 You sent me flying, when you kicked me to the kerb.
