Who'll Stop the Rain" is a song written by John Fogerty and originally recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival for their 1970 album Cosmo's Factory. Backed with "Travelin' Band", it was one of three double-sided singles from that album to reach the top five on the Billboard Pop Singles chart and the first of two to reach the spot on the American charts, alongside "Lookin' Out My Back Door". In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked it on its "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list.
Long as I remember, the rain been coming down Clouds of mystery pouring, confusion on the ground Good men through the ages, trying to find the sun And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain. I went down Virginia, seeking shelter from the storm Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain
Em who'll stop the rain G. G I went down Virginia seeking C shelter from the G storm. G Caught up in a Bm fable C watched the tower G grow. G Heard the singers'playing, h C ow we cheered for m G ore. the G crowd had rushed Bm together, ju C st tryin to ke G ep warm. C Still the rain kept G fallin'(still the rain keeps fallin'). C Fallin on my G ears (fallin'thru the years). C And I wonder, D still I wonder.
Jeff from Queens, Ny"Who'll Stop the Rain" is written in the classic folk tradition about the lives of common people neglected by those in power. It's a political statement against politicians who boast of all the wonderful accomplishments they pretend to have achieved, but in reality have done nothing to improve peoples lives. Wishing for someone to stop the "rain" is a masked reference to wishing someone will rise up to stop the "reign" of neglect toward common folk

Lyrics: Long as I remember The rain been comin' down. Clouds of myst'ry pourin' Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Tried to find the sun; And I wonder, still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain. I went down Virginia, Seekin' shelter from the storm. Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow. Five year plans and new deals, Wrapped in golden chains
