Heavy Cloud, No Rain

{Am6} Turned on the weather man just after the news 
{Bm7/A} I needed {Am6} sweet rain to wash away my blues {Bm7/A}
{Am6} He looked at the chart but he looked in vain {Bm7/A}
{Am6} Heavy cloud but no rain

{Am6} Back in the time with Louis XVI
{Bm7/A} At the {Am6} court of the people he was number one
{Bm7/A} He'd be the {Am6} bluest blood they'd ever seen
{Bm7/A} When the {Am6} king said hi to the guillotine
{Cm6} The royal astrologer was run out of breath
He thought that {E7#9} maybe the rain would postpone his death {Bb13} 
{Am6} He look in the sky but he look in vain {Bm7/A}
{Am6} Heavy cloud but no rain

{Am6} Well the land was cracking and the river was dry
{Bm7/A} All the {Am6} crops were dying when they ought to be high
{Bm7/A} So to {Am6} save his farm from the banker's draft
{Bm7/A} The farmer {Am6} took out a book on some old witchcraft
{Cm6} He made a spell and a potion on a midsummer's night
He killed a {E7#9} brindled calf in the pale moonlight {Bb13}
{Am6} He prayed to the sky but he prayed in vain {Bm7/A}
{Am6} Heavy cloud but no rain

The {Cmaj7} sun won't {D} shine till the {Am7} clouds are {D} gone
The {Am7} clouds won't {Bm7} go till their {Cmaj7} work is {D} done
{Cm6} And every morning you'll hear me pray
{E7#9} If only it would rain today {Bb13}

{Am6} I asked my baby if there'd be some way
{Bm7/A} She said she'd {Am6} save her love for a rainy day {Bm7/A} 
{Am6} I look in the sky but I look in vain {Bm7/A}
{Am6} Heavy cloud but no rain
