Capo 4 for album Key
No capo live
[Intro]
Am C D G
[Verse]
Am C
I met April in December
D G
in 1981.
Am C
Her smile so easy to remember,
D G
April Rain was my first love.
Am C
See I was new to Mississippi.
D G
the smell of kudzu takes me back,
Am C
to that old High School where she kissed me.
D G
I bet she don’t remember that.
Am C
But that’s the April that dream of,
D Em
not the person she became.
Am
Because my teen angel has a habit,
C
and she thinks she has to have it,
D G F C C G
and all that’s left is the name.
[Chorus]
Am C
April Rain is coming down
D G
on the other side of town.
Am
With a man she probably doesn’t love.
C
Mississippi’s waking up,
D G F C C G
And April Rain is coming down.
[Break]
G Am C D (x2)
[Verse]
Am C
They say she changed when I left Houston,
D Em G
she let bottle take my place.
C
And when the whiskey could not do the trick,
D
she had to up the fix.
G F C C G
Now she just can’t shake the taste.
[Chorus]
Am C
April Rain is coming down
D G
on the other side of town.
Am
With a man she probably doesn’t love.
C
Mississippi’s waking up,
D G
And April Rain is coming down.
Am C
D G
April Rain is coming down.
