What Have They Done To The Rain

(Malvina Reynolds)

Verse 1:

	 E                 F#m           B
	Just a little rain falling all around
             B7                          E
	The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound
        C#m                 G#m
	Just a little rain, just a little rain
         A                          B
	What have they done to the rain


Verse 2:


	 E                 F#m             B
	Just a little boy standing in the rain
             B7                         E
	The gentle rain that falls for years
                C#m                G#m
	And the grass is gone, the boy disappears
             A                       E
	And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
             A                          B
	And what have they done to the rain


Verse 3:

        E                 F#m           B
	Just a little breeze out of the sky
	    B7                            E
        The leaves nod their heads as the breeze blows by
	C#m                            G#m
        Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eyes
	A                          B
        What have they done to the rain


[repeat verse 2]
