[Opening]
[F] [Bb] [F] [Bb]
[F]strolling along country [Gm7]roads with my [Bb]baby,
[C7]It starts to rain, it be[F]gins to pour,
[F]Without an umbrella [Gm7]we’re soaked to the [Bb]skin,
[C7]I feel a shiver run [F]up my spine, [Dm]
[Dm]I feel the warmth of her [G]hand in [C]mine.

[chorus]
[Bb]Oo I hear [Cm]laughter in the rain,
[Bbm]walking hand in hand with the [Ab]one I love,
[Bbm7]Oo how I [Cm]love those rainy days,
[Bbm]And the happy way I feel in[Cm]side. [C]

[Closing]
[F]After a while we run [Gm7]under a [Bb]tree,
[C7]I turn to her and she [F]kisses me.
[F]There with the beat of the [Gm7]rain on the [Bb]leaves,
[C7]Softly she breathes and I [F]close my eyes, [F] [Dm]
[Dm]Sharing our love under [G]stormy [C]skies.

[chorus]
[Bb]Oo I hear [Cm]laughter in the rain,
[Bbm]walking hand in hand with the [Ab]one I love,
[Bbm7]Oo how I [Cm]love those rainy days,
[Bbm]And the happy way I feel in[Cm]side. [C]
