I met a woman from far away
Am
We talked for hours
G
And she asked me to stay
C
Talk turned to kisses
F
Then she took my hand
Am
Asking a question
G
I did not understand
F
She said, “Do you like the rain?”
Dm
I asked her to explain
C
Then she showed me
I could not belive
F
The sound of the rain
Dm
On tapes that you play
Am
In the stereo
G
With the lights down low
C F G
It’s California Rain
I woke up at midnight
And to my surprise
The thunder and lightning
That I heard was a lie
Now I’m back in Moscow
With real rain instead
I still can’t forget her
Or the night that she said
Do you like the rain?
It’s driving me insane
When I think back
Just what did we have?
The sound of the rain
Is all that remains in my memory
What should I believe?
F Dm
California Rain, California rain
C Am
Was it real or a game?
F Dm
California Rain, California Rain
Am
Or is our love the same
G
As California Rain
Em G Bm
To fake the rain zone again
Em G A
But don’t treat me the same way
G
Do you like the rain?
Em
It’s driving me insane
Bm
When I think back
A
Just what did we have?
G
The sound of the rain
Em Bm
Is all that remains in my memory
A
What should I believe?
G Em
California Rain, California rain
Bm
Was it real or a game?
A
California Rain.
G Em
California Rain, California Rain
Bm
Or is our love the same
A
As California Rain
