G     C          F
I met a woman from far away
          Am
We talked for hours
               G
And she asked me to stay
           C
Talk turned to kisses
            F
Then she took my hand
       Am
Asking a question
           G
I did not understand
 
          F
  She said, "Do you like the rain?"
   Dm
  I asked her to explain
         C
  Then she showed me
  I could not belive
     F
  The sound of the rain
     Dm
  On tapes that you play
        Am
  In the stereo
         G
  With the lights down low
              C   F G
  It's California Rain

I woke up at midnight
And to my surprise
The thunder and lightning
That I heard was a lie
Now I'm back in Moscow
With real rain instead
I still can't forget her
Or the night that she said

  Do you like the rain?
  It's driving me insane
  When I think back
  Just what did we have?
  The sound of the rain
  Is all that remains in my memory
  What should I believe?

            F           Dm
    California Rain, California rain
                C   Am
    Was it real or a game?
            F           Dm
    California Rain, California Rain
                  Am
    Or is our love the same
              G
    As California Rain

Em       G       Bm
To fake the rain zone again
Em          G       A
But don't treat me the same way

   G
  Do you like the rain?
       Em
  It's driving me insane
        Bm
  When I think back
         A
  Just what did we have?
     G
  The sound of the rain
    Em               Bm
  Is all that remains in my memory
          A
  What should I believe?

            G           Em
    California Rain, California rain
                Bm
    Was it real or a game?
            A
    California Rain.
            G           Em
    California Rain, California Rain
                  Bm
    Or is our love the same
              A
    As California Rain
