After the Rain Lyrics

Tempo: Standard Rock Pace
Chords: (surprisingly very simple)
Performance Note: All of the above chords can be strummed with the top Bb and eb string
open, except for the F#5 and A#+4 or it's variant. This is especially useful for
acoustic style without any electronics.
IE:
You'll want to keep the A#+5 crisp and clear, the same as the F#5 because of the
it should be a 'bump' in the road of the smooth flow of chords to break up the norm.
