RAINING ON THE ROCK - John Williamson Raining On The Rock is in Drop-D tuning with a capo on the 1st fret, although it will be much less confusing if I do the transcription without taking the capo into account: INTRO: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-| A|2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|------------------------------------------------------2---2---0-| B|------------------------------------------------------3---3---0-| G|------------------------------------------------------2---2---0-| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-| A|2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---2-| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------0---0---2-----------------------2---2---0-| B|----------------------0---0---3-----------------------3---3---0-| G|----------------------0---0---2-----------------------2---2---0-| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-| A|2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2---2---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---2-| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------0---0---2---------------------------------| B|----------------------0---0---3---------------------------------| G|----------------------0---0---2---------------------------------| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-| A|2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2---2---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-| D|0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0---0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-| CHORD FORMATIONS: DADGBE 000232 010000 NOTE: In the first verse & chorus, only the bottom three strings are strummed (as in the intro), but after the run-down full chords are used Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold, We've just come out of the mulga where the plains forever roll. Where Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes, And a shower has changed the lustre of his land. CHORUS: And it's raining on the rock, in a beautiful country, And I'm proud to travel this big land like an Aborigine. And it's raining on the rock, what an almighty sight to see. And I'm wishing on a postcard that you were here with me. CHORD FORMATIONS FOR RUN-DOWN: E|---11---9----7---5---2---0---| B|---10---10---8---5---3---0---| G|---10---9----7---6---2---0---| D|---0----0----0---0---0---0---| A|---0----0----0---0---0---2---| D|---0----0----0---0---0---0---| Everlasting daisies and a beautiful desert rose, Where does their beauty come from, heaven knows. I could ask the wedgetail but he's away too high, I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to fly. CHORUS RUN-DOWN x2 It cannot be described with a picture, The mesmerising colours of the Olgas. Or the grandeur of the rock, Uluru is power! CHORUS RUN-DOWN x3
