this song is one of the best i know, and i felt the need to transcribe it.
i'm not sure if there even is an acoustic version of this song, but i play
it acoustic, and i just sort of wanted to put one up here.

Cmaj
Sad memories the gathering rain brings
Fmaj
I loved her but I'll never see her face again
Cmaj
Clouds raise their heads in the morning
Fmaj
the way I once walked on by her
Cmaj
But now she's gone and I'll never raise my face again,
Fmaj
Raise my face again
A
White horses dragged my lover from me
A# A
(the clouds) rushed in and drowned my sorrow with the rain,
A# C D
with the rain
Cmaj
My friends try to lift me
Fmaj
they understand how I'm feeling
Cmaj
but the truth holds me down
Fmaj
she came and went with the rain
Cmaj Fmaj
I watched her walk into the rain
Cmaj Fmaj
I watched her walk into the rain
A
White horses dragged my lover from me
A# A
(The clouds) rushed in and drowned my sorrow with the rain,
A# C D
with the rain
Em
Now always the storms come
Cmaj
Raindrops run down my windows
Em
All that's left is her picture
Cmaj
but someday it to will
Em
wash away...
Cmaj
wash away...
Em
I watched her walk away,
Cmaj
in the rain
