Key: C

Verse I:

C     

Forty days and nights

    D/C

It rained upon the land

F/D

Covering the earth

               G                  C

And the sins of fallen man

       C

But finally the morning

            D/C

Broke through the misty gray

           F/D

And a multi-colored promise

D⁷/*F                   G

Chased away the rain

Chorus:

                C                    D/C

After the rain, after the rain

                F/D              F/G   G   F/G G⁷

I feel the sun shining down u – pon me

C                   E^m7

Every tear is washed away

   F                        F/D

I now can see the day

                E^m

After the rain

                F/D        G⁷      C

After the rain has gone away

Verse II:

C     

The sky grew cold and dark

       D/C

The ground began to shake

        F/D

The innocent had died

         G                        C

On a Roman cross of shame

           C

Three days spent in morning

       D/C

His friends cried in the rain

       F/D

But just as He had promise,

D⁷/*F                   G

He rose to shine again

Verse III:

C     

Sometimes I feel discouraged

                 D/C

When the rain has come my way

       F/D

But in my heart I know

               G                C

It will be gone someday

       C

I’m waiting for the morning

      D/C

To break the eastern sky

        F/D

The clouds will roll away

D⁷/*F                          G

And the Son is gonna shine
