Great song to learn. Not sure if these are the exact chords Ben Caplan uses but it works pretty well.

[Verse]
Cm G
When it rains it pours
F Ab
There will be watery days in store
G Cm G
Growing in pools right there on the floor
F Ab
Flowing downstairs and out the door
G Cm G
When you're in drought don't be in doubt
F Ab
Brother for now you can do without
G Cm G
But when the beautiful clouds come out
F Ab G
Try not to drown, try not to
Cm G F Ab G
shout
Cm G
Man, when your dry life can be hard
F Ab
That queen of hearts is a fickle card
G Cm G
And when your hard life can be dry
F Ab G
No matter how hard you try
Cm F
Just, when you think you're stuck
Cm G
Bleeding and pleading and down in the muck
Cm F
A change of winds a bit of luck
Cm Ab
And girls, just dying to give you a
Cm F
phone number
Cm G
Give me a call here's my
Cm F
phone number
Cm G
Brother that's all, just a
Cm F
phone number
Cm G
But that's all you need man, get that
Cm F
phone number
Cm G Ab
Sow the seed of love
[Chorus]
Cm G
The seed of love
F Ab G
no matter how small
Cm G
Can blossom and grow
F Ab G
or do nothing at all
Cm G
But when the rains
F Ab G
begin to fall
Cm G
the seed of love
F Ab G
will sprout, if only you'd
Cm G F Ab
call
[Verse]
N.C.
When things are juicy and wet
F Ab
Brother you better not forget
G Cm G
Don't go run out after all you can get
F Ab
That's a good way to get someone upset
G Cm G
Brother you're thirsty I know
F Ab
But even though rushing waters flow
G Cm G
You got to try to take it slow
F Ab
Or right back to the desert you'll go
G Cm G
Cause there's many clouds up in that sky
F Ab G
And though you'd like to drink them dry
Cm G
It's not a good idea to try
F Ab G
All that just keeps floating by
Cm
Picture just one cloud
F
the one that you sought
Cm
Will rain on you if
G
she can see that you fought
Cm
Be in her rain
F
to love her a lot
Cm
To get really wet
Ab G
and to touch her soul
[Chorus]
Cm G
The seed of love
F Ab G
no matter how small
Cm G
Can blossom and grow
F Ab G
or do nothing at all
Cm G
But when the rains
F Ab G
begin to fall
Cm G
the seed of love
F Ab G
will sprout, if only you'd
Cm G F Ab G
call
