[Verse 1]
This is a rainy [D]land

No thunder in our sky
No trees stretching high

[Verse 3]
This is a rainy land
[D]
First we heard two big [C]bangs
We thought it was the great

Then we saw the big [C]cloud
Then the big black mis
[Am]t began [D]to roll[G][D]

[Verse 4]
This is a rainy land

A strangeness on our skin

This is a rainy land
No thunder in our sky
No trees stretching high

But this is a rainy land

My [C]name is Millipuddy
They captured me and roughly
washed [Am]me do[D]wn
Then my child stopped [C]kicking
Then they took away
[Am]my man [D]to town
They said do you speak English?
He said
I know that Jesus loves me I know
Because the bible tells me so
[D]I know that Jesus loves me I know
Because the bible tells me so

[Verse 7]
This is a rainy [D]land
This is a rainy land
No thunder in our sky
No trees stretching high
But this is a rainy land
