Have You Ever Seen The Rain
John Fogerty
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Pendulum 1970
1970
Another MP3 brought me this tune, which is great and I'll
hopefully be able to add it to my repertoire. Hope you
enjoy it! It is very simple with the cool bass lines
driving it. So figure out those bass lines, learn about
slash chords, and get on with it!

LYRICS:
C
Someone told me long ago there's a calm before the storm
G C
I know it's been comin' for some time
(C)
When it's over so they say it'll rain a sunny day
G C
I know shinin' down like water
CHORUS
I wanna know have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down a sunny day
Yesterday and days before sun is cold and rain is hot
I know been that way for all my time
Till forever calmly goes through the circle fast and slow
I know it can't stop I wonder
CHORUS 2x
