A D A *

A                  D     A
Broken windows and empty hallways,
           F#m       D   E             A
a pale lit moon in a sky streaked with grey.
      F#m             D
Human kindness is overflowing,
      A                D      A
and I think it's gonna rain today.

A                         D      A
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles,
           F#m       D     E     A
the frozen smiles to chase love away.
      F#m             D
Human kindness is overflowing,
      A                D      A
and I think it's gonna rain today.

G   Am  Em  Am
Lonely, lonely.
Am
Tin can at my feet,
                     F
I think I'll kick it down the street.
C          Am             A
That's the way to treat a friend.

A                   D       A
Right before me the signs implore me:
         F#m       D    E        A 
Help the needy and show them the way.
      F#m             D
Human kindness is overflowing,
      A                D      A
and I think it's gonna rain today.

G   Am  Em Am
Lonely, so lonely.
Am
Tin can at my feet,
                     F
I think I'll kick it down the street.
C          Am             A
That's the way to treat a friend.

A                   D       A
Right before me the signs implore me:
         F#m       D    E        A 
Help the needy and show them the way.
      F#m             D
Human kindness is overflowing,
      A                D      A
and I think it's gonna rain today.
