After the Rain - The Angels
From the 1978 album "Face to Face".
Written by Doc Neeson, Rick Brewster, and John Brewster
Notes: The original has a Dsus2 on the first 'after the rain' in the chorus,
but it sounds fine as a D. The 3-2-0 lick at the end of the intro riff is played after the chorus.
Intro riff (x2):
