Billy Joel - Falling of the Rain: chords

F            G           D#           D#/C    A#
Once upon a time in the land of misty satin dreams
               C          Gm  F/A  A#     A#/C
There stood a house and a man who painted nature
  F
scenes
             G  D#                    D#/C
He painted trees  and fields and animals
      A#             C
and streams and he stayed
       Gm     F/A       A#     A#/C    F
And he didn't hear the falling of the rain
F C/E Cm/D#  D
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh  Ah
      Gm     F/A      A#      A#/C    F
No he didn't hear the falling of the rain

In the forest green lived a girl who
put her hair in braids and she sang
As she walked all about the wooded glades
She was glad when the rain came falling on her face
And she sang, because she didn't mind
the falling of the rain
No, she didn't mind the falling of the rain

Chorus:
                       F                Am
Will it always be the same as we recall?
                            F                  Am
Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall?
                 F               A#      F/A      G
Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see
F/C            C               F/C           C
Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me

High upon a hill far away from all
the dusty crowd is a boy
With his eyes on the ground, his head is bowed
He's a fool and his mind is filled
with hopeless dreams
And he waits, but he will not see
the falling of the rain, ah
No, he will not see the falling of the rain

Chorus

So now the boy becomes the man who sits
and paints all day
But the girl with the braids in her hair
has gone away
And it seems that time has brought things to an end
Nothing's changed, because you can't stop
the falling of the rain, ah
No you can't stop the falling of the rain
