Intro: D-D-D-D-G7-G7-D-D 

verse 1: 

D 
Caroline, you're angry because you sleep like a spinster and you're twenty-eight 

            G7                                D 
You've been thinking late, you couldn't catch a cold 

D 
Bend your head double in the goose-down, piling all the pillows high 

           G7                               D 
Heave your fiercest sigh and see if that'll work 

Chorus: 

        A                 G            D 
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today 

        A                 G            D 
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today 


Transition: 

D                            G7 
I think it only made it rain more 

D                       G7 
I think it only made it rain the more 

verse 2: 

           D 
And if the water's all wicking up your pant-leg, better wear your britches tight 

         G7                               D 
I should teach you right to be so down at heel 

      D 
Going off half-cocked, not shot full of arrows from the cherubim 

        G7                              D 
Oh, the nerve of them to not draw their bows 

 

        A                 G            D 
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today 

        A                 G            D 
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today 



Transition: 

D                            G7 
I think it only made it rain more 

D                       G7 
I think it only made it rain the more
