Intro:

------

D/C

Chorus:

-------
      Red rain is coming down, red rain

Cmaj7     D              Cmaj7     D

      Red rain is pouring down, pouring down, all over me
Cmaj7     D               Cmaj7         D              Em

Verse:

------
I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream

     Em                 D/E                Em

        I cannot make a single sound as you scream
     Em                 D/E                 Em

        It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
     Em7                 A/E                       Em

  We touch, this place is so quiet, sensing that storm
     Em                      D/E                 C

[chorus]

[verse]
Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down
There is no blood around see no sign of pain
No pain, seeing no red at all, see no rain

[chorus]

....
....
Putting the pressure on much harder now
To return again and again

Just let the red rain splash you
Let the rain fall on your skin
I come to you defences down
With the trust of a child
                    Em

[chorus]

And I can't watch any more, no more denial
            C                  Em

It's so hard to lay down in all of this
        C

[chorus]
Red rain is coming down
Red rain is pouring down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I see it

Red rain is coming down
Red rain is pouring down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I'm bathing in

Red rain coming down
Red rain is coming down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I'm begging you

Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Over me in the red red sea
     D         Cmaj7   Dsus4

Over me
     Cmaj7 Dsus4

Over me
     Em

Red rain
