Words: (the chords are the same as the first verse for all verses except the end of the second - D/C/G instead of Gsus/D/G) G C G Am Gsus C/F# D7/F# I hear the drizzle of the rain, like a memory it falls G D/F# G C Am Gsus D G Soft and warm, continuing tapping on my roof and walls G C G Am Gsus C/F# D7/F# And from the shelter of my mind, Through the window of my eyes G D/F# G C Am D C G I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets, To England where my heart lies (HereÕs where it goes to Dsus) My mindÕs distracted and diffused, my thoughts are many miles away They lie with you when youÕre asleep, and kiss you when you start your day And a song I was writing is left undone I donÕt know why I spend my time Writing songs I canÕt believe With words that tear and strain to rhyme (Back to Dsus) And so you see I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you And as I watch the drops of rain Weave their weary paths and die I know that I am like the rain There but for the grace of you go I (Really cool guitar solo verse, which I may tab later...) Note: At the end of the third line of each verse, there is a walkup from G to C that Paul Simon loves to do (Homeward Bound, Boxer, etc...) and he alternates from the single note walk I put in the tab at that spot and a more common (and cooler) walkup: E ----------------|0---------------|----------------|----------------| B ----0---1---3---|----------1-----|----------------|----------------| G ----------------|------0-------0-|---etc...-------|----------------| D ----------------|----2-------2---|----------------|----------------| A --------0---2---|3---------------|----------------|----------------| E 3---3---+---+---|+---+---3---+---|+---+---+---+---|+---+---+---+---| Ah, sweet poetry...

And from the shelter of my mind, through the window of my eyes I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets, to England where my heart lies. (bridge) My mind's distracted and diffused, my thoughts are many miles away. They lie with you when you're asleep, and kiss you when you start your day. And a song I was writing is left undone. I don't know why I spend my time writing songs I can't believe with words that tear and strain to rhyme. (bridge) And so you see I have come to doubt all that I once held as true. I stand alone without beliefs. The only truth I know is you. And as I watch the drops of rain weave their weary paths and die I know that I am like the rain. There but for the grace of you go I.
