WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO THE RAIN Time: 2/2 Tenor: C Bass: A
1 * 2m 5
Just a little rain, falling all a-round
3m 57 1 *
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound
6m * 3m *
Just a little rain, just a little rain
4 * 5 *
What have they done to the rain
CHORUS:
1 * 2m 5
Just a little boy, standing in the rain
3m 57 1 *
The gentle rain that falls for years
6m * 3m *
And the grass is gone, the boy disap-pears
4 * 1 *
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
2m * 5 *
And what have they done to the rain
1 * 2m 5
Just a little breeze, out of the sky
3m 57 1 *
The leaves pat their hands as the breeze blows by
6m * 3m *
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye
4 * 5 *
And what have they done to the rain
