  D'                        D/F

D'w/riff 1
Wide awake in San Diego
Smallest root shrinking dry
                                    G     F
The fish are swimming closer inside Lake Morena
                           C    C#
Still get no rain from the sky
D'
Men were firing cannons
Hoping smoke might tear an angel's eyes
          D/F (voiced above)
Heard the stories of shooting arrows
Tearin' open the clouds
    G                 F
But indians shoot the best, and
       Am7   (this is kinda fishy) C   C# D'
The indians they don't like us, much

You made rain for L.A.
          F
We've got ten grand
                           D
For you to go cook us some rain

G
Science from the cooking pot mixing up with the air
F
Feeling thunder
G
Nights since they have started
Now the clouds won't stay apart

         F
A little California voodoo
Care of Hatfield and his brother

D (with strumming pattern from above)

Now the horses won't race where the down's turned to mud
Streams and rivers are growing
And my boots are filling up
             F
Water's from back this way
                       F
Look at them smiling, cooking and smiling
D
Hatfield
D
Made rain for L.A.
        C
Well, "Hot damn",
                                   D
People swear with one walk in this rain

D (with 1/8th note strumming pattern)

F
Families on porches
     D
The children are smiling
      F
The owners are mad, owners are crying
          D                          C
Still the eyes of the children, wide open
      D
Wide, wide

D'
Well, the blue light is rolling in between the clouds
Feeling of wonder
Some water drying up, some sinking down
"Charles always kept in touch", swears his mother
"Always had the touch"

D
Made rain for L.A.
Made rain for L.A.
