Just outside my window I hear the late September dogs

and night after night, I'm searching for mercy everywhere


[prechorus]:
CC Piano Chord 
                       CsusCsus Piano Chord 

so I wake in the street and I call out your name
C              F(strum)
and I shout to the sky please,


[chorus]: (strumming)

come on let it rain, let it rain down on me
FF Piano Chord 
                         GG Piano Chord 

let the rain touch my hands let the rain set me free

[pattern1] C    Csus   C    Csus
let it rain down on me

silence is the steel that pierces and cuts me to the bone
in dreams the hand that touches you is mine, and mine alone

CC Piano Chord 
                       CsusCsus Piano Chord 

cruel is the light, is the morning shining down on me
CC Piano Chord 
                       CsusCsus Piano Chord 

hours with the devil to understand just what you need

[pre-chorus],  2nd line "..rain fill my eyes.."

Just inside the distance, I hear the late September dogs
I so I beg for sleep, the child who walked before she crawled

CC Piano Chord 
                   CsusCsus Piano Chord 
                            CC Piano Chord

damn my soul that remembers and clutches to this pain
C                   F[strum]
the spear in your side is me come on let it ...

[chorus]

AmAm Piano Chord 
                                 GG Piano Chord 

oh ho ho let it rain, let the rain fill my eyes
FF Piano Chord 
                            GG Piano Chord 

I don't wanna see, no, let it rain down on me

[pattern1] C     Csus           C  Csus
let it rain down on me       oooh hooo

[outro]:

C   Csus [pattern1] to fade

Fingering:

Alternative fingering for C and Csus :
CC Piano Chord 
                  CsusCsus Piano Chord 

___________         ___________
|_|_1_1_1_1 10th    |_|_1_1_1_1  10th fret
|_|_|_|_|_|         |_|_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_3_3_3         |_|_|_3_3_3
|_|_|_|_4_|         |_|_|_|_4_4

If the C,Csus at the 10th fret is too trebly or hard on the fingers, it
also works playing C,Csus at the nut (or possibly C,F {bracketed}) like
this:

// C                                      |     x_____o___o
e-||-----------0----------|---------0--------|---  |_|_|_|_1_|
B-||.-------------(1)-----|------------1-----|---  |_|_|_|_|_|
G-||.-----------------(0)-|---------------0--|---  |_3_4_|_|_|
D-||----------------------|------------------|---  |_|_|_|_|_|
A-||---3----3-------------|--3----3----------|---
\\

Csus or {F}                              \\    x_____o____
e--------------1----------|---------1---------||-  |_|_|_|_1_1
B-----------------(1)-----|------------1-----.||-  |_|_|_|_|_|
G---------------------(0)-|---------------0--.||-  |_3_4_|_|_|
D-----{3}--{3}------------|-{3}--{3}----------||-  |_|_|_|_|_|
A------3----3-------------|--3----3-----------||-
//

Arrangement:

If you don't have loads of bass guitar in the back, it might be better to
strum C,Csus or even C,F at the prechorus, rather than continuing picking
pattern 1.
