JAMES TAYLOR - "Fire And Rain" Tablature
Official JAMES TAYLOR Tablature & Sheet Music »
This song is pretty hard. I know the intro is right and I think the verse is correct too, but I'm not
100% sure on that. It was pretty hard to figure out. The order is at the bottom after the tab. Good luck.

I've seen fire and I've seen rain.
Verse One
Riff A:
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne the plans they made put and end to you.
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song.
I Just can't remember who to send it to.
Chorus
Riff B:
I've seen fire and I've seen rain.
I've seen sunny days that I though would never end.
I've seen loney times when I could not find a friend.
But I always thought that I'd see you again.
Verse 2
Riff A:
Won't you look down upon my Jesus,
You gotta help me make a stand.
You just go to see me through another day.
My body's achin' and my time is at hand.
And I won't make it any other way.
Chorus
Riff B:
I've seen fire and I've seen rain.
I've seen sunny days that I though would never end.
I've seen loney times when I could not find a friend.
But I always thought that I'd see you again.
Verse 3
Riff A
Been walkin' my mind to an easy time,
My back turned toward the sun.
Lord knows when the cold wind blows,
It'll turn your head around.
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come.
Sweet dreams and flying machines
In pieces on the ground.
Chorus
Riff B:
I've seen fire and I've seen rain.
I've seen sunny days that I though would never end.
I've seen loney times when I could not find a friend.
But I always thought that I'd see you again.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JAMES TAYLOR tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
