Rainy Day Man Chords

(ver. 1)
James Taylor
[Intro]
 
A      Asus4  A  Em/A
 
A         D/A     Em(add11) D/A
What good is that happy     lie?
A      D/A     Em(add11)  D/A        A         Bm7  F#m7  Em7
All you wanted from the start was to cry, girl
 
[Verse 1]
                G/A       Dmaj7   Bm7  F#m7  Em7
It looks like another fall
     G/A                        Dmaj9       Bm7  F#m7  Em7
Your friends they don't seem to help at all
                                  G/A        Dmaj9  F#dim7
Now, when you're feelin' kind of cold and small
      Em7           G/A        Dmaj9   D   Bm7 F#m7 Em7
Just look up your rainy day man
 
[Verse 2]
               G/A           Dmaj9    Bm7  F#m7  Em7
It does you no good to pretend, child
              G/A                       Bm7  F#m7 Em7
You've made a hole much too big to mend
          G/A                Dmaj9         F#dim7
And it looks like you lose again, my friend
       Em7                        G/A       D   A/D D
So go on home and look up your rainy day man
 
[Bridge]
     Bm      A       Gmaj7         F#m7
Now rainy day man he don't like sunshine
   Bm             A             Gmaj7    F#m7         Bm
He don't chase rainbows, he don't need good times, no
          A           Gmaj7      F#m7
Grey days rolling, then you'll see him
       Gmaj7   F#m7          Em7  G/A    Bm7  F#m7 Em7
I said empty feeling, Lord now you need him
 
[Verse 3]
                  G/A                 Dmaj9  Bm7  F#m7 Em7
All those noble thoughts, they don't belong
              G/A           Dmaj9      Bm7  F#m7 Em7
Can't hide the truth with a happy song
               G/A                Dmaj9     F#dim7
And since you knew where you stood all along
        Em7              G/A      D   A/D D
Just go call up your rainy day man
 
[Bridge]
    Bm        A           Gmaj7   F#m7
Now simple pleasures they all evade you
 Bm             A               Gmaj7    F#m7          Bm
Store-bought treasures, Lord none can save you, no now
          A          Gmaj7     F#m7
Look for signs to ease the pain
       Gmaj7    F#m7        Em7     G/A   Bm7 F#m7 Em7
I said ask again, go on and pray for rain
 
[Verse 4]
          G/A         Dmaj9  Bm7  F#m7  Em7
It looks like another fall
          G/A                      Dmaj9    Bm7  F#m7 Em7
Your friends they don't seem to help at all
                 G/A                Dmaj9      F#dim7
Now, when you're feeling kind of cold and small
      Em7           G/A        Dmaj9
Just look up your rainy day man
         F#dim7      Em7         G/A     D   A/D D
All I need to do is look up my rainy day man.
 
[Outro]
 
      A       D/A      Em(add11) D/A
Now, what good is that happy     lie
     A      D/A     Em(add11)  D/A        A
When all you wanted from the start was to cry?
