for some reason there seems to be alot of confusion on the first chord of this song .
the first chord is an F#sus2 chord
the reason it sounds ominous is because of the low register of the voicings
the entire progression is
F#sus2 C# B repeated over and over
if you’re playing this on piano you have to invert the chord so that it follows the top
melody line which utilizes the notes G# ( for the F#sus2 ) F ( for the C# ) and D# ( for the
B chord . )
so fill the chord normally , just make sure those notes are on top and you should be fine .
for any of you familiar with theory
the F#sus2 and C# chords are in first inversion while the final B chord is in 2nd
inversion . take note that the inversion only happen in the left hand , the right hand plays
the usual bass ( root ) notes .
if you’re plannning on playing this on guitar i suggest you down tune a halfstep so you
can get that open chord feeling , thats in the song .

god , please bring the rain
Gsus2 D C

Gsus2 D C

Gsus2 D C
into judy’s room
Gsus2 D C
with a father on amphetamines
Gsus2 D C
her mother hides the pearls
Gsus2 D C
reach out into the darkness
Gsus2 D C
and find my little girl
Gsus2 D C
’cause she’s angry like a salesman
Gsus2 D C
that couldn’t make a sale
Gsus2 D C
threw her wedding ring in the sewer
Gsus2 D C
and damned them all to hell
Gsus2 D C
please lead her to the mountain
Gsus2 D C
that you fashioned out of sand
Gsus2 D C
while the roaches climb the walls
Gsus2 D C
from the hotel where he calls
Gsus2 D C
most people never find a love
Gsus2 D C
most people never find a love
Gsus2 D C
sometimes you just can be a man
Gsus2 D C
sometimes you just can be a man
Gsus2 D C
when your living in the darkness
Gsus2 D C
of the shadowlands
Gsus2 D C
the shadowlands
Gsus2 D C
the shadowlands
the cool thing about the open chords is if your playing this on solo guitar you can
fingerpick the song easily
best of luck
