Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen The Rain

"I wrote this song in a melancholy mood. It’s actually about Creedence, breaking up; the writing surely was on the wall by then. What young musicians really need is a strong manager or a father or somebody to take them all by the collar until they get over it. Everybody’s got an ego and power and girlfriends and all the rest, so it ends up a mess sometimes, and that’s what the song was written about. But these days, the song reminds me of the blessing that I have, the fans out there that have singing all these songs all these years. There is a rainbow in the song, and I guess I'm arriving there now." - John Fogerty, singer/songwriter/bandleader for Creedence Clearwater Revival

I have this neat chord/melody interlude between the 2nd chorus & the outro.
Fun to play; fun to sing.
