[Intro]
 
C G, Am F,
C G, Am G#dim7
 
Am, G Am (x4)
 
[Chorus 1]
 
Am G Am Please Jah, let it rain; let it wash all this wickedness a-way.
G AmSo much sorrow, so much pain; let the sun come out to shine a-nother day.
 
Am G Am Please Jah, let it rain and if our roots are strong we will re-main.
G AmLet it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain...
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am In the beginning there was only love;
G Am All was connected to the Most High above.
Every creature lived in harmony;
G Am There was no language for the word enemy.
All animals were equal under Jah sun;
G Am There was just enough food for everyone.
There were no squabbles and no ego trips;
G Am There was no language for the word ownership.
 
Am Then along came mankind;
G AmEager to prove his worth and his might, na, na, na, na.
GTo conquer the land, conquer the seas, conquer the skies;
A God in his own eyes.
 
[Bridge 1]
 
DmBut be careful you build your house too high,
AmStanding on your tiptoes trying to touch the sky; you're gonna topple.
Look how your foundation a-crumble.
Dm You had everything you could need,
F Em (n.c)But you just couldn't keep it simple, oh...
 
[Chorus 2]
 
(n.c) Am G Am So please Jah, let it rain; let it wash all this wickedness a-way.
G AmSo much sorrow, so much pain; let the sun come out to shine a-nother day.
 
[Interlude]
 
Am, G Am (x2)
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am G Am How long will we wait for hu-manity to come around?
G G#dim7 AmIs the gap too great to cross this divide and be reunited now?
 
[Solo]
 
Am, G Am (x7),
 
Am G, A5 G#5 G5 F5 E5
 
[Verse 3]
 
AmI should have known it, I should have seen it coming;
G AmCreeping like a shadow on my heart, hun-gry like a vampire.
I should have felt it; historically the signs were there,
G AmFor all to see, esoterically hidden in plain sight.
So gather your freedom and hold it tight,
Yeah, we're gonna live it up tonight.
G Am Follow me brother, 'cos Babylon never dis-cover,
The treasure that we hold, oh no.
 
Am G Am How long will we wait, open the doors of Zion gate?
We will suffer no more;
G Am Can't you hear we knocking, (knocking), knocking at your door?
Oh, how long will we wait?
G Am Will we open the seventh and seal our fate?
G G#dim7Is the gap too great, to cross this divide and be reunited?
 
[Bridge 2]
 
C G 'Cos they will never give up,
Am F'Til they sucked every last drop, of blood from out of our veins.
C G Am So we got only one choice; listen closely to my voice;
F (n.c)
We got to take back our freedom... yeah...
 
[Interlude]
 
Am, G Am (x2)
 
[Chorus 3]
 
Am G Am Please Jah, let it rain; let it wash all this wickedness a-way.
G AmSo much sorrow, so much pain; let the sun come out to shine a-nother day.
 
(n.c) Am G Am Please Jah, let it rain and if our roots are strong we will re-main.
GLet it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain,
AmLet it rain, let it rain, let it rain...
