Verse 1:
F           G           Eb            Eb    Bb
Once upon a time in the land of misty satin dreams
              C           Gm  F    Bb      Bb     F
There stood a house and a man who  painted nature scenes
           G     Eb                    Eb       Bb             C
He painted trees     and fields and animals and streams and he stayed
       Gm     F        Bb      Bb       F
And he didn't hear the falling of   the rain

Verse 2:
F             G             Eb               Eb      Bb
In the forest green lived a girl who put her hair in braids
        C           Gm     F    Bb         Bb     F
And she sang as she walked all  around the wooded glades
        G             Eb                Eb        Bb           C
She was glad when the rain came falling on    her face and she sang
           Gm      F        Bb      Bb       F
'Cause she did not mind the falling of   the rain

Chorus 1:
                      F                  Am
Will it always be the same as we recall?
                           F                    Am
Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall?
                F                Bb      F       G
Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see
F             C               F             C
Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me

Verse 3:
F           G        Eb                Eb    Bb         C
High upon a hill far away from all the dusty crowd is a boy
         Gm   F      Bb          Bb      F              G
With his eyes on the ground; his head is bowed; he is a fool
        Eb                  Eb       Bb            C
And his mind is filled with hopeless dreams and he waits
       Gm       F       Bb      Bb       F
But he will not see the fallin' of   the rain

Chorus 3:

                           F                    Am
Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall?
                F                Bb      F       G
Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see
F             C               F             C
Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me

Verse 4:
F            G               Eb               Eb         Bb
  So now the boy becomes the man who sits and paints all day
         C            Gm     F      Bb       Bb    F
But the girl with the braids in her hair has gone away
       G          Eb                      Eb    Bb             C
And it seems that time has brought things to an end; nothing's changed
           Gm    F        Bb      Bb     F
'Cause you can't stop the falling of the rain.
