Verse:
G
 Someone told me long ago
G                   D
 There's a calm before the storm, I know
                 G
And it's been coming for some time

Verse:

G
 When it's over, so they say
G              D
 It'll rain a sunny day, I know
           G
Shining down like water

Chorus:

C     D
I wanna know

Have you
G   D    Em
ever seen the rain

I wanna know

ever seen the rain

Coming down on a sunny day

Verse:

G
 Yesterday and days before
G                D
Sun is cold and rain is hard, I know
             G
Been that way for all my time

Verse:

G
 'Til forever on it goes
G                 D
 Thru the circle fast and slow, I know
           G
And it can't stop, I wonder

 I wanna know

 Coming down on a sunny day

TO “CLEOPATRA”

Verse:
G
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
                        D
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
     G
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
                   D
With my father in a casket, I had no plans
G
Yeah

Bridge:
G

Verse:
G
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
                         D
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
   G
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
                            D
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around
 
Chorus:
      G*
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
      G  D   C   G         C  G     D
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
D  G
Time

Bridge:
G

Verse:
G 
While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
                       D
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
    G
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
                           D
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you

Chorus: 
      G     D  C    G   C      G     D
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
      G  D   C     G       C    G   D
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
 
Pre-Chorus:

     Em         G      C     D Em
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
     C                Em      C   D G
But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part

Bridge:
G

Verse:
G
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
                        D
But that's all in the past love, gone with the wind
G
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
    G*
It's a bed and it's a bathroom
   D*
And a place for the end

Chorus:
      G    D   C    G   C      G     D
So won’t be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
      G  D   C      G      C    G   D
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

Outro:
D  G
