CCmaj7 Raindrops keep falling on my head C7FEm7 And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed A7Em7 Nothin' seems to fit A7 Those DmG7 raindrops are falling on my head they keep falling
CCmaj7 So I just did me some talkin' to the sun C7FEm7 And I said I didn't like the way he got things done A7Em7 Sleepin' on the job A7 Those DmG7 raindrops are falling on my head they keep falling
CCmaj7 But there's one thing I know FG7Em7 The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me Em6DmG7 It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
CCmaj7 Raindrops keep falling on my head C7FEm7 But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red A7Em7 Crying's not for me A7 'Cause DmG7 I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin' CF Because I'm free G7C Nothing's worrying me
