Notes:
The basic chord progression listed below is identical to that which McCartney plays on
his album, but the chords’ configuration is subject to translation, as is the strum. If
you would like to experiment with different variations of chords, an excellent dictionary
can be found at http://www.chordfind.com. The lyrics were adapted from the booklet within
the CD case. On this song, McCartney, the “one-man band," is credited with playing a
Bosendorfer Grand Piano, Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar, Martin D28 Acoustic Guitar,
Martin 12 String Guitar, Hofner Bass Guitar, Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar, Schmidt
Autoharp, Ludwig Drums, Maracas, and Vocals. On a separate note: there are several other
artists who have songs entitled “Too Much Rain.” Carole King’s celebrated album “Music”
(1971) and ATB’s (German DJ André Tanneberger) “Movin’ Melodies” (1998) both feature a
song entitled “Too Much Rain.”  I hope that this help out! Please, if you have any
questions or comments, don't hesitate to contact me. I sincerely hope that this helps
