[D] Well, it's gonna rain, ain't you know?
[Em] Soon the [D] water pools are new
[Dm] [Am] It's gonna rain, [D] it's gonna rain
It's gonna rain, rain, rain, ain't you know?
[A] Soon the water [D] pools are new
[Em] [Am] [D] It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain
Well, God got angry on his throne
Angels in the heaven begin to moan
Go down angels and stir the flood
Go watch the sun and change the moon in the blood
Come back angels and barn door
Out of cantile [Am] there'll be no [D] more
Tell me, great God, when it started to rain
The women and the children begin to spill
Some knocks and all the women bang on the door
Crying, brother, Laura, can't you take no more?
Noah said, no, God's got to keep it
You can't come in, it's just gonna rain
[A] Soon the water pools are [D] new
[Em] [Dm] It's gonna rain, [D] it's gonna rain
Well, it rains 40 days, 40 nights
We thought it would stop, but no, we got to worry
Spring came with troubles, sent out a rain
And it sent out a dove, the water, my Lord
The rain, my Lord, kept on coming from above
Tell my little children the birds might see
But they couldn't get a land to rest in peace
Though the winds did blow
Off to the rock, but Laura couldn't find nowhere to stop
My God spoke and whispered, Lord
Told old Laura where he wanted him to go
He said, look here, Laura, there ain't none stop
I want you to land on the mountain top
So old Laura, that rainbow sign
Won't be water, but a bind next time
Because it's gonna rain
Soon the water pools are [A] new
[D] It's gonna [Em] rain, [Dm] [A] [D] it's gonna rain
Well, after the foundation was laid
Work was done, the ox was made
Hunter did the hammer and saw
Build a lock for how to grace the court
Causing the animals to fight [D] too
He woke up the camel and the king of the roo
Calling the [Dm] birds from the island air
From comfort and from the [D] air aware
[Dm] Raised his hand, beat the heaven on high
Locked the sun and the moon [D] from the sky
Shook the mountain, [Dm] let the dirt to see
And he hid the land in a chair [D] of wheels
To hold [Dm] and tough talk to [D] show
When the clouds and the time would be no more
Because it's gonna rain
Soon the water pools are [A] new
It's gonna rain, [Bbm] [D] it's gonna rain
[Gm]
