Rhythm of the Rain (Cascades ukulele cover)

Hope you like my cover of this oldies classic, written by John Claude Gummoe and recorded by the Cascades. This is a remake of the cover I lost with my keonepax channel.
capo up 2 half steps
intro: [ C F C G7
[C] Listen to the rhythm of the [F] falling rain
[C] telling me just what a fool I've [G7] been
I [C] wish that it would go and let me [F] cry in vain
and [C] let me be a[G7]lone a[C]gain [G7]
The [C] only girl I care about has [F] gone away
[C] looking for a brand new [G7] start
But [C] little does she know that when she [F] left that day
A[C]long with her she [G7]took my [C] heart
[F] Rain please tell me now does [Em] that seem fair
For [F] her to steal my heart away when [C] she don't care
I [Am] can't love another when my
[F] heart's some[G7]where far a[C]way [G7]
The [C] only girl I care about has [F] gone away
[C] looking for a brand new [G7] start
But [C] little does she know that when she [F] left that day
A[C]long with her she [G7] took my [C] heart
(repeat verse for instrumental solo)
[F] Rain won't you tell her that I [Em] love her so
[F] Please ask the sun to set her [C] heart aglow
[Am] Rain in her heart and let the
[F] love we [G7]knew start to [C] grow [G7]
[C] Listen to the rhythm of the [F] falling rain
[C] telling me just what a fool I've [G7] been
I [C] wish that it would go and let me [F] cry in vain
and [C] let me be a[G7]lone a[C]gain [G7]
//: [C] oh, listen to the [Am] falling rain,
[C] pitter patter pitter [Am] patter, woh ://

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care?
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
Oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter patter, pitter patter
Oh, oh, oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter patter, pitter patter

Thanks, Laura! Have a great time in Hawaii and be sure to do some outdoor videos!

[@thizizliz]

This one is better - with the rain in the background, it's perfect!

[@CarolTopsnik]

Awwww John, love it!! Perfect background to your rendition. And yes, I was singing along with you

[@paxukulele]

Howzit, Carol! Mahalo for your nice comment! I'm happy to imagine you singing with me. Have a great day! : )

[@Hickmann]

paxukulele, you've got one of the most pleasing and soothing voices I know. No fake or posing, just someone who needs to express himself through singing. Thanks for an inspiring and beautiful version of a classic. The vocal harmonies are the icing on the cake here.

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Floyd! I really appreciate it! I hope my love for the song comes through. One of my all-time favorite oldies... : )

[@Hickmann]

paxukulele
Does your love for the song come through? You bet! It happens to be my all-time-favourite-oldie, too.

[@chrishenderson7510]

Couldn't have said it better myself...

[@lagaringer]

So glad you brought this one back to us John. This is such a great one and I love your take on it. I've missed seeing and hearing from you. Hope all has been well. Heading back to the rock soon...cannot wait!!!!

[@wzwee]

another great rendition, john. just by your song, voice, and musical instrument you are able to transport me back to those exciting times of the 60's. when tunes such as this came through my am radio, they most certainly spoke to me and i knew i had found my kind of music. thanks for caring enough about these songs to sing and play them.

[@mainge100]

Very nicely done.

[@joaniev]

[@EarthsAngels]

This is a great rendition John! I like your harmony too! I remember this pretty song. :o)

[@optimusprimal6636]

Nice clean vocals, good rhythm and on tune. The newer generations can learn a thing or three from you about how to do a cover!

[@paxukulele]

+Optimus Primal Thanks, Optimus! Sorry for the delayed reply!

[@cohiba7059]

Wonderful!!!

[@paxukulele]

[@srota7]

I was feeling the mood of The Cascades through your song. Thank you!

[@paxukulele]

Shin Nam-Ho Thanks, Nam-Ho! : )

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Jeanne! I feel the same way about those times. I enjoyed listening to the radio back then!

[@fabiolacampoblanco]

this is really really great!

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Jane! I thought the uke picking in the background captures the feeling of raindrops, so it's a good match for this song!

[@kevinKoolio69]

Beautiful!

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Kevin! I really appreciate it! : )

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Jodie! I wasn't too happy with my first cover, although it did include a lightning flash indoors! I was disappointed to lose my keonepax channel, but at least it gave me a good reason to re-do some of my covers.

[@JodyY808]

I love this song! I guess you can tell who the Baby Boomers are because your songs bring back such pleasant memories for us. I never saw the original video from your keonepax channel, so I'm really glad you did this remake. The rain in the background is the perfect setting!

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Jens! I lost my first cover, so I've been wanting to do this one again. Seemed like a good day to do it!

[@gildemarcarneiro]

Very lovely!

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, gildemarcaneiro! : )

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Liz! So many great songs from that wonderful era of music!

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Helen! Definitely one of the all-time great rain songs!

[@fourteentwelve]

Beautiful rendition of this John! Lovely solo as well, and great harmonies.

[@Cameragirl803]

So glad I popped on to youtube this morning and heard this great one from you John. You did a terrific job with it~ Such a nice one to hear on the uke! Perfect with the rain too~ Bravo!

[@garyteters7273]

Thanks John,
It came up again.

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Gary! I'm glad RUclips is placing some of my vids on the recommended queue! : )

[@animalcaretechguy]

So nice!

[@BellaUke1970]

What a nice song, voice and ukuleleplay - you make it look so easy....let it rain!!! By the way, it rains in Copenhagen right now...so it must be time to play ukulele :-)

[@DarkmoonRising69]

excellent work John

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Laurence!

[@funguy4utube]

Beautiful and you really express the meaning of the song … perfectly done !

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, FunGuy! : )

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Lea! I had thought about doing this song a few days earlier when it was raining, but the rain stopped before I could set up my camera. But it rained all day when I recorded this, so there was no rush!

[@deadman4282]

So good man hope i could play it like you

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, L is Heart! I really appreciate it! : )

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Michelle!

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Liz! On my first cover, I used special effects to create rain and lightning in the house. I like natural rain much better!

[@carolynheitmiller4135]

Great voice n songs done well. Esp 60s music. Some tunes are unexpected to sound well. Including keyboard. I really learned a good thing, finding out many sound well. Good players

Thanks, Ralf!

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Peter!

[@paxukulele]

Thanks, Tom! I often don't think about the strum... just kind of play and let the strum happen by feel, but I think it's basically d-d-u-u-d-u, d-d-u-u-d-u.
