Chorus:
This is how the chorus is played  the  first time- the last 2 bars are
played differently each verse. I'm not writing each verse out since it
takes up an awful lot of space-  refer  to  the album to get the other
fills. However, note that the last (outro) chorus consists of, more or
less, the first two bars played 9 times altogether.

Cmaj7   G  x2

[Verse]
Cmaj7                   G
    Down here the river meets the sea
Cmaj7                                 G
    And in the sticky heat I feel you open up to me


[Chorus]
B7
Love comes out of nowhere baby
Em          D    Cmaj7
Just like a hurricane
                  G     Cmaj7
And it feels like rain
                  G
And it feels like rain


[Verse]
Cmaj7                            G
      Lying underneath the stars right next to you
Cmaj7                           G
      Wondering who you are and how do you do (how do you do baby?)


[Chorus]
B7
The clouds are rolling across the moon 
Em       D              Cmaj7
The wind howls out your name
                  G     Cmaj7
And it feels like rain
                  G
And it feels like rain   Baby can you feel it?


[Verse Lead]


[Chorus]
B7
We ain't ever gonna make that bridge tonight, babe
Em     D            Cmaj7
Across Lake Pontchartrain
                  G     Cmaj7
And it feels like rain
                  G
And it feels like rain   Baby can you feel it?

[Verse]
   Cmaj7                                   G
So baton down the hatches baby, leave your heart out on your sleeve
   Cmaj7                                                 G
It looks like we're in for stormy weather and that ain't no cause for us to leave
     B7                             
Just lie here in my arms and let it 
Em   D        Cmaj7
wash away the pain
                  G     Cmaj7
And it feels like rain
                  G
And it feels like rain   Baby can you feel it?


[Outro]
G CMaj7 
          Baby can you feel it?
g Cmaj7   
          It feels like rain.
