         F            C          Bb     C
    
      
    
     Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
     F                         FMaj7
    
     And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
     F7                                  BbMaj7          Am7
    
     Nothin' seems to fit
     D9               Am7
     Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
     D9    Gm7          C7             Gm7               C7   Bb/C 
     So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
     C    F                              Fmaj7
    
     And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
     F7                           BbMaj7            Am7
     Sleepin' on the job
     D9              Am7
    
     Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
     D9    Gm7           C7            Gm7                C7   Bb/C
                     
    
     But there's one thing I know
                     F         C
     The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
      B Bb                 C              Am7   
     It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
     Am7                   D9           Bb            C
    
     Bb  C  x2 
    
    
     Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
     F			Fmaj7
    
     But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
     F7				Bbmaj7              Am7
    
     Cryin's not for me
     D9             Am7
     
    'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
     D9    Gm7       C7             G7              C7
                  
     Because I'm free
                  F       Fmaj7    Bb         
     Nothin's worryin' me
              Bb/C     F
    
      (Trumpet)
     F         C B Bb                 C              Am7
    
     
     It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
     Am7                   D9           Bb            C
    
     Bb  C  x2 
    
     Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
     F			Fmaj7
    
     But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red

     Because I'm free
                  F       Fmaj7    Bb         
     Nothin's worryin' me
              Bb/C     F

    this is how i do D9

    D9 : 554555 = TTIRRR
    T=Thumb
    I=Index
    R=Ring
    I dont bother to play Am7.. I just do barre Am - D9 prog.. while playing whcih is easy to switch.
    Bb/C is easy.. instead of barring 3, barre 4 strings.. thats about it..
    i mean u gotta play Bb x33331 by barring the 3s with your ring finger..
