[Intro]
                    | D/C | % | % | % | (x2)
(Hi-hat until 00:13)
 
[Chorus]
C      D              C         D
   Red rain is coming down, red rain
C      D               C             D              Em  | Em | % |  % |  Em
   Red rain is pouring down, pouring down, all over me    
 
[Verse]
     Em                 Bm/E               Em
I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream
Em                Bm/E                Em
  I cannot make a single sound as you scream
Em                 A/E                       Em
  It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
   Em                      D/E                 C
We touch, this place is so quiet, sensing that storm
 
[Chorus]
    D              C         D
Red rain is coming down, red rain
C      D               C             D              Em
   Red rain is pouring down, pouring down, all over me
 
[Verse]
          Em                    Bm/E                    Em
Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
     Em                 Bm/E                     Em
They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down
Em            A/E                  Em
  There is no blood around, see no sign of pain
Em                 D/E                C
No pain, seeing no red at all, see no rain
 
[Chorus]
    D              C         D
Red rain is coming down, red rain
C      D               C             D              Em
   Red rain is pouring down, pouring down, all over me
 
[Bridge]
| Em   | Em   | C/E  | C/E  | Am7/E   | Am7/E   | D/E   | F  |
                             Red rain 
Em         C/E            Am7/E                       D/E  F
Oooohhhhh,    putting the pressure on much harder now,     to return again 
      Em                                      C/E
And a-gain, just let the red rain splash you,   let the rain fall on your skin
Am7/E                      D/E    F                   Em
    I come to you defences down,  with the trust of a child
 
[Chorus]
C     D              C         D
  Red rain is coming down, red rain
C     D               C             D             Em
  Red rain is pouring down, pouring down all over me
            C                  Em
And I can't watch any more, no more denial
        C
It's so hard to lay down in all of this
 
[Outro]
    D              C         D               C
Red rain is coming down, red rain is pouring down
    D              Em
Red rain is coming down all over me, I see it
 
C     D              C         D               C
  Red rain is coming down, Red rain is pouring down
    D              Em
Red rain is coming down all over me, I'm bathing in
 
C     D              C         D              C
  Red rain is coming down, Red rain is coming down
    D              Em
Red rain is coming down all over me, I'm begging you
 
C     D           C         D           C
  Red rain coming down, red rain coming down
    D           Em                    C
Red rain coming down, red rain coming down
 
     D         C        D
Over me in the red, red sea
     C    D     Em   Em
Over me,   over me,   red rain
