[Verse 1]
 F
Caroline you’re angry

‘Cause you sleep like a spinster
             F
And you're twenty-eight
           Bb
You been thinking late
                      F
You couldn’t catch a cold


[Verse 2]
 F
Bend your head double

In the goose-down
                F
Piling all the pillows high
            Bb
Heave your fiercest sigh
                    F
And see if that’ll work


[Chorus]
         C                 Bb
And the raincoat that you wore
         F
When it rained today
         C                 Bb
And the raincoat that you wore
         F
When it rained today
    Dm           C         Bb
I think it only made it rain more
    Dm           C         Bb
I think it only made it rain the more


[Interlude]
F


[Verse 3]
        F
If the water’s all wicking

Up your pant leg
                   F
Better wear your britches tight
          Bb
I should teach you right
                  F
To be so down at heel


[Verse 4]
      F
Going off half-cocked

Not shot full of arrows
           F
From the cherubim
        Bb
Oh the nerve of them
                   F
To not draw their bow


[Chorus]
         C                 Bb
And the raincoat that you wore
         F
When it rained today
         C                 Bb
And the raincoat that you wore
         F
When it rained today
    Dm           C         Bb
I think it only made it rain more
    Dm           C         Bb
I think it only made it rain the more
