I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

Fire and Rain (James Taylor)
By James Taylor
Rise Up Singing chapter: Friendship, p.65
Verses: C Dm F C / - Dm F - ://
Chorus: F G C - / F G C - / F G C - / F - C -
Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
(I always thought it went, "I woke up this morning...")
Chorus:
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought I'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus...
Now I'm walking my mind to an easy time...
