INTRO
[Am7] [D7] [C7]
What does it matter if rain comes your way
[Am7] [D7] [G]
And raindrops patter all day?
[Bm]
The rain descending should not make you blue.
[Em] [A9] [D7] [Daug]
A happy ending is waiting for you.
VERSE 1
[G] [Gmaj7] [G7] [G6]
Take your share of trouble,
[Cmaj7] [C9] [G] [G7]
Face it and don't complain
[Cmaj7] [Em7] [A9]
If you want the rainbow,
[Am9] [D7] [G] [Daug]
you must have the rain.
VERSE 2
[G] [Gmaj7] [G7] [G6]
Happiness comes double
[Cmaj7] [C9] [G] [G7]
after a little pain
[Cmaj7] [Em7] [A9]
If you want the rainbow,
[Am9] [D7] [G] [G7]
you must have the rain.
CHORUS
[G7] [C]
What if your love affair should break up,
[Cm]
As they sometimes will?
[G] [Em] [A9]
When you kiss and make up,
[Am9] [D7] [Daug]
Oh what a thrill!
VERSE 3
[G] [Gmaj7] [G7] [G6]
Sadness ends in gladness,
[Cmaj7] [C9] [G] [G7]
showers are not in vain.
[Cmaj7] [Em7] [A9]
If you want the rainbow,
[Am9] [D7] [G] [Daug]
you must have the rain.
VERSE 4
[G] [Gmaj7] [G7] [G6]
Take your share of trouble,
[Cmaj7] [C9] [G] [G7]
face it and don't complain
[Cmaj7] [Em7] [A9]
If you want the rainbow,
[Am9] [D7] [G]
you must have the rain.
