It’s Raining, It’s Pouring:
To play “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring,” you need to
know how to play Amaj7 and Dmaj7 chords (see the section, “Major 7th
Chords,” earlier in this chapter) and how to sing in a really whiny,
annoying voice.
This song is a jazzed-up version of the old nursery rhyme “It’s Raining,
It’s Pouring,” also known as the childhood taunt “Billy Is a Sissy” (or
whichever personal childhood nemesis you plug in to the title). The
major 7th chords that you play in this song sound jazzy and give any
song a modern sound. Use all downstrokes on the strums.
