Rainy Day People by Gordon Lightfoot
According to his original 1975 studio recording. If you wish to play in-tune along with this
particular version, you need to TUNE almost ½ step sharp. I said almost.
Other arrangements get by with Am second chord, but it?s really Am7.
You can play the middle guitar solo starting with following notes:
B C D C A G E A.
G F#, E D B D E D C B D.
Capo IV tuned ## Sharp

If you get lonely, all you really need is that rainy day love.

on their peace of mind.
