Artist: Billy Joel
[INTRO]
[F] [F/E] [F/Eb]
[Bbmaj7] [C]
[VERSE 1]
[F]Once upon a [G]time in the [Eb]land of misty [Eb/C]satin [Bb]dreams
There stood a [C]house and a [Gm]man [F/A]who [Bb]painted [Bb/C]nature [F]scenes
He painted [G]trees [Eb] and fields and ani[Eb/C]mals and [Bb]streams and he [C]stayed
And he [Gm]didn't [F/A]hear the [Bb]falling [Bb/C]of the [F]rain
[REFRAIN 1]
[F] [Caug/E]Ahhhhhhh[Cm/Eb]hhhhh [D]Ah
No he [Gm]didn't [F/A]hear the [Bb]falling [Bb/C]of the [F]rain
[REPEAT INTRO]
[VERSE 2]
[F]In the forest [G]green lived a [Eb]girl who put her [Eb/C]hair in [Bb]braids
And she [C]sang as she [Gm]walked [F/A]all [Bb]around the [Bb/C]wooded [F]glade
She was [G]glad when the [Eb]rain came falling [Eb/C]on her [Bb]face and she [C]sang
'Cause she [Gm]did not [F/A]mind the [Bb]falling [Bb/C]of the [F]rain
[REFRAIN 2]
[F] [Caug/E]Ahhhhhhh[Cm/Eb]hhhhh [D]Ah
No he [Gm]didn't [F/A]hear the [Bb]falling [Bb/C]of the [F]rain
[F] [Am]
[CHORUS 1]
Will it always be the [F]same as we recall? [Am]
Does it touch you when the [F]rain begins to fall? [Am]
Ah, but I don't [F]want to know and [Bb]I don't [F/A]want to [G]see
[F/C]Another rainy [C]day without you [F/C]lyin' next to [C]me
[REPEAT INTRO]
[VERSE 3]
[F]High upon a [G]hill far [Eb]away from all the [Eb/C]dusty [Bb]crowd is a [C]boy
With his [Gm]eyes [F/A]on the [Bb]ground; his [Bb/C]head is [F]bowed; he is a [G]fool
And his [Eb]mind is filled with [Eb/C]hopeless [Bb]dreams and he [C]waits
But he [Gm]will not [F/A]see the [Bb]fallin' [Bb/C]of the [F]rain
[REFRAIN 3]
[F] [Caug/E]Ahhhhhhh[Cm/Eb]hhhhh [D]Ah
No he [Gm]didn't [F/A]hear the [Bb]falling [Bb/C]of the [F]rain
[F] [Am]
[CHORUS 2]
Will it always be the [F]same as we recall? [Am]
Does it touch you when the [F]rain begins to fall? [Am]
Ah, but I don't [F]want to know and [Bb]I don't [F/A]want to [G]see
[F/C]Another rainy [C]day without you [F/C]lyin' next to [C]me
[VERSE 4]
[F] So now the [G]boy becomes the [Eb]man who sits and [Eb/C]paints all [Bb]day
But the g[C]irl with the [Gm]braids [F/A]in her [Bb]hair has [Bb/C]gone a[F]way
And it [G]seems that [Eb]time has brought things [Eb/C]to an [Bb]end; nothing's [C]changed
'Cause you [Gm]can't [F/A]stop the [Bb]falling [Bb/C]of the [F]rain.
[REFRAIN 4]
[F] [Caug/E]Ahhhhhhh[Cm/Eb]hhhhh [D]Ah
No he [Gm]didn't [F/A]hear the [Bb]falling [Bb/C]of the [F]rain
