A black cat moans, when he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls, when he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy, with the thought of retribution

But a man starts weeping, when he's sick and tired of life.

This represents the main riff in the tune. It's played with
mondo-fuzz. All notes are lightly damped except the D
and C# on the 5th string, which are pinched to the point
of squealing. At this point its repeated six times: twice
alone and four times under the lyrics.

I keep on dreaming the dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time lighting candles in the wind
Always taking my chances on the promise of the future
But a heart full of sorrow beats a lonely tapestry

The sun is shining
(play 'main riff' one more time)
But its raining in my heart

No one ever sees the tears when you're crying in the rain
Repeat 2x

when you're crying in the rain
crying in the rain
Well, that's all i care to do. There is a different rythym
under the lead break, and the leads and fills themselves.
But life is for learning.
