Just a little rain    falling all around
 6    -7   -7    -7   -7  -6 -7   7 7  7    6
The grass lifts it`s head to the heavenly sound
 -6 -6  -6-6   7         6  6  6 5    6
Just a little rain     just a little rain

CHORUS
  6  6   6 6   6     -6 -6    6 -5    6
Just a little boy   standing in the rain
 6   -7-7   -7    6   -6   -7    7
The gentle rain that falls for years
 7   7   -6   -6  7     7  -7   6  -6 -7
And the grass is gone  the boy disappears
-7   -6   -5    -6 -7   -6    6  5     6
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
 6   -5   -5    6   -6   6 -5    6
And What Have They Done To The Rain?

Just a little breeze    out of the sky
The leaves nod their heads as the breeze blows by
Just a little breeze with some smoke in it`s eye
What Have They Done To The Rain
(Repeat Chorus)
