Em7                            
It's late De-cem-ber and the New 
               Dmaj7
Year's nev-er com-ing,
           Em7                     
time pass-es slow-ly in a two-room 
          Dmaj7
walk-up flat,
            Bm                  
The sun is silent there's a cold 
            F#7
rain's gonna come on,
           G              A   
No one to talk to but my lady's 
           D
yellow cat.

           Em7                     
Raindrops falling on the flowers in
    Dmaj7
 the window box,
         Em7                
Plastic roses that I planted 
     Dmaj7
yesterday.
          Bm                     
I didn't think they'd die so soon 
               F#7
but they're all withered now,
           G          A           
Seems like everything I touch 
           D
turns out that way.

Chorus
         F#7
Well, I guess I'll just go walking,
     Bm                 Bm/A
The cat's no Good for talking to,
    E7
He don't know what I'm saying
         Em                        
And the rain is always playing on 
A            C      A     /
my mind, on my mind.


Street lights drifting through the 
blinds that cover window panes
blending softy with the bare lights 
overhead.
Then together they run swiftly 
through my memory
An eerie image in a strange and 
empty bed.


The wind is whippin' up the papers 
in the street below
I got some books to read but it 
seems they've all been read
Clouds are crowded in a misty 
drifting sky above
I wish to hell I could remember what
 I said.

Repeat Chorus


One crystal wine glass on a table 
filled with scarlet stains
Stands alone and empty where there 
once were two
The jug is silent on the table by a 
broken plate
The wine is gone, my lady, and so, 
my love, are you.

         F#7
Well, I guess I'll just go walking,
     Bm                Bm/A
The cat's no Good for talking to,
    E7
He don't know what I'm saying
         Em                        
And the rain is always playing on 
A           C           A        C
my mind, on my mind, on my mind
