Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Comin' Down in the Rain (Mondlock) From: GUEST,Guest.TommyInOz Date: 05 Feb 18 - 11:52 PM If you check the lyrics on Buddy Mondlock's website, you'll notice the last four lines in the final half-chorus go: "You can read him as clear as the wall Where he once wrote his name It was inside a heart That'll only come down in the rain" http://www.buddymondlock.com/lyrics_chords.html |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords: Buddy Mondlock-Comin' Down in the Rain From: Eve Goldberg Date: 02 Apr 09 - 12:14 PM I think there might be a few lyrics corrections needed here -- I think Nanci Griffith didn't get all the original words right, unfortunately. In the second verse, I think it's "hung out and strung out to dry, FLAPPIN' under the line" and then "he says with his feet on the ground he'd have nothing to GAIN," so, corrected lyrics: COMIN' DOWN IN THE RAIN by Buddy Mondlock Flipped into the wind like the ashes of her cigarette He got scattered thrown on the breeze as he tried to forget He lost all his heat and his heart never will be the same He got lighter than air but he'll only come down in the rain Strung out and hung out to dry flappin' under the line It's not such a dignified place but he really don't mind He says with his feet on the ground he'd have nothin' to gain Claims he likes it up there and he'll only come down in the rain (chorus) Comin' down in the rain, washin' outta the sky Loaded down with the pain, there just ain't no way to fly You can read him as clear as the wall where he once wrote his name It was right next to hers but it'll only come down in the rain Burnin' himself out on a limb like a leaf in the fall He blazed for awhile now he's feelin' all dried up and small The colours all gone disappeared, near as quick as it came He says he can't stay up but he'll only come down in the rain (repeat chorus) You can read him as clear as the wall where he once wrote his name It was right next to hers but he'll only come down in the rain ----------- And here are the chords, in G, without all the walkdowns etc: verse: G C Am D G G C Am D G Chorus: Em C Am D G C Am D G The bass walkdowns happen when you are moving from C to Am to D at the end of the first line and beginning of the second line in the verse (it happens again the end of the third line, and the end of the second to last line of the chorus). In order you would play: C C/B Am Am/G D/F# I'm not sure how to notate it in here so that people can figure out how to make those chords. Any suggestions? |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords: Buddy Mondlock-Comin' Down in the Rain From: GUEST,Jeff Date: 02 Apr 09 - 03:58 AM There's a youtube video of Buddy playing the song in a 'round' w/Nancy Grffith and other's. The chords are clearly discernable in the video. |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: buddy Mondlock From: GUEST Date: 02 Apr 09 - 12:50 AM Well, I suppose I'm posting this about 9 years too late, but on Nanci Griffith's great cover of this song, on her "Other Voices, Other Rooms" CD, they are doing this with a capo on fourth fret, in G. The walk downs are the standard C running down through Am (in this case it's that wierd C chord (sus something?)which is the Am with the third string open, then to D. There's the walkdown from G to the Em as well.The rest is pretty straighforward. It's a great tune!!! |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: buddy Mondlock From: GUEST Date: 03 Dec 00 - 01:18 AM Thanks! I do know the words to this song- but I appreciate your posting them up for me. Guess the chords are utterly impossible to find- I wanted to play this song on the guitar, but I'm a beginner- not good enuf yet to figure it out on my own. Heck! Guess it's back to yer basic Bob dylan and "Go tell Aunt Rhody!" |

COMIN' DOWN IN THE RAIN
Flipped into the wind
Strung out and hung out to dry

Burnin' himself out on a limb

You can read him as clear as the wall I hope this helps you out a little at least. |
