Piano lesson on how to play "Rain" by SWV. Lyrics are included:

Background:
"Rain" is a 1998 single released by the group SWV. The musical backing track is based on Jaco Pastorius's "Portrait of Tracy." First heard in 1997 on the group's third album Release Some Tension, the song was released as a single the next year. It peaked at number 25 on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number 7 on the US Hot R&B Singles chart. Singer Tyrese appeared in the song's music video. He would later sing the hook on "Pullin' Me Back", a song by rapper Chingy, which sampled "Rain". Smooth jazz musician Norman Brown covered the song on his 1999 album, Celebration. Toronto based producer duo Team Majestic Music, also sampled "Rain" for their song "Let It Fall." New York City house producer Baltra sampled it late 2016/early 2017.

Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Emaj7 Cmaj7
Sometimes it's soft as a misty rain
Cmaj7 Gmaj7 F#m7
That gently touches my soul
Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Emaj7 Cmaj7
It cools the fire that burns in me
Cmaj7 Gmaj7 F#m7
And I simply lose control
So just

[CHORUS]
C Em7
Rain down (on) on me
Am Bm
Let your love just fall like rain
Cmaj7 Gmaj7 F#m7
Just rain on me
C Em7
Just rain down (on) on me
Am Bm
Let your love just shower me
Cmaj7 Gmaj7 F#m7
Just rain on me

Full as a dam at capacity
My passion's about to explode, yeah
I can't escape, it's surrounding me
I'm caught in a storm
That I don't need no shelter from

[CHORUS]

Shower me
Sprinkle me
Fall down on me
(Your love just falls on me)

Fall down, fall down on me
Let it
Fall down, fall on me
Just
[CHORUS]
