I'm Mr. Midnight, can I play a song for you?
If you play this song on a guitar only, then you should better play a standard
G7instead G7/Dchºrd,
Even though this is a piano song, you can do a nice fingerpicking on the guitar
on it to make it sound like the original recording. This is what I figured out
Em
Play this two times during the Intro and repeat it through the Fills and the
Outro.
C7M B7 B
Rain on the roof Time on my hands
Continue this type of fingerpicking throughout the rest of the song.
