          E             A        F#min B
There's a knock at the door that I adore

          C#min       A         F#min   B      G#min
There's a face at the window, a smiling yellow face

          A            E
There's a knock at the door

       C#min     A           F#min   B
And if I were at home they'd find me there


          E           A         F#min   B
There's a note on the door that I would see

        C#min       A           F#min      B        G#min
And the furniture's barely been moved from where it was

          A           E
There's a note on the door

        C#min          A       F#min    B
And the note would say when it rains it snows


E                A/C#     B         E A B
When it rains it snows, I wonder why

    A     E         C#min            E
And now I know that when it rains it snows

          E          A       F#min     B
There's a nut with a shotgun bang bang bang

          C#min       A         F#min   B      G#min
There's a doctor, a waitress, a fireman with a hat


          A           E
There's a nut with a gun

        C#min             A     F#min      B
There's enough so they'll never know which one

E                A/C#     B         E A B
When it rains it snows, I wonder why

    A     E         C#min            E
And now I know that when it rains it snows
