(He's my rainy day man, child, rainy day man)


[Verse 1]
C                               F
You can turn off that big light
C                 F
Oh, you've got it
C                                        F
Gonna wrap you up like a satin valentine
        C            F
Put you in my pocket
       Am
When I was sad and sorry
         F
I lay my prayers down at his gate
Am
Some have tried before to save me
F                  G
They were just too late


[Chorus]
C             F
Here he comes
                  C   F
Hey, my rainy day man
        C     F
Here he comes
             C                   F
My rainy day man (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)


[Verse 2]
C                F                      C  F
All my troubles, all just drippin' away
Am
I was drownin' in the shadows
F
Freezing in the burning light
Am
I drank his holy water
F                       G
And it fixed me up just right


[Chorus]
        C                     F
Here he comes (Here he comes)
                  C                   F
Hey, my rainy day man (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
        C                     F
Here he comes (Here he comes)
                  C                   F
Hey, my rainy day man (ah ah ah ah ah ah)


[Bridge]
 Fm     C
(Kisses sweeter than honey)
 Fm     C
(Kisses on my tongue)
 Fm                  C
(I tried to pour the sugar on me) My rainy day man, my rainy day man
 F                    C
(Sugar, sugar, sugar, baby, bang bang, touch) My rainy day man, my rainy day
                 C
He got a love so sweet
       F
Got an awesome touch
C
Sometimes you pay the price
            F
For wanting something so much


[Verse 3]
           C       F
But that's alright
     C                 F
Oh, 'cause you have it
Am
Something to believe in
F
Built in faith and concrete trust
Am                              F                 G
Seven days and seven nights, it tightens me right up


[Chorus]
C
Here he comes (Here he comes)
F                 C
Hey, my rainy day man (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
F              C
Here he comes (Here he comes)
     F            C
Ooh, my rainy day man (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)


[Outro]
C                                  F
Here he comes (Kisses sweeter than honey)
C
My rainy day man
              F
(Kisses on my tongue)
C
Here he comes
               F
(That's right, pour the sugar on me)

My rainy day man
                            F
(Sugar, sugar, sugar, baby, bang bang, touch)

Here he comes
                            F

Here he comes
                      F
(Sugar, sugar, sugar, baby)

Rainy day man
                      F
(Sugar, sugar, sugar, baby)

Rainy day man
                      F
(Sugar, sugar, sugar, baby)

My rainy day man

Hey, my rainy day man
