Sun And The Rain

...THE SUN AND THE RAIN... by Madness

*from 'Utter Madness' (1986)*

(Original Key: Bb)

Intro:

G Bb, G C (x2)

Verse 1:

It's raining a-gain; I'm hearing it's pitter-patter, down.

It's wet in the street; reflecting the lights and splashing feet.

Nowhere to go, and nothing I have to do, have to do.

Verse 2:

It's raining a-gain; I follow the Christmas lights, down town.

I'm leaving the flow, of people walking all around, round and round.

Chorus 1:

I hear the sound of rain, falling in my ears,

Washing away the weari-ness, like tears.

I can feel my troubles running down;

Disappear into the silent sound.

Verse 3:

Just walking a-long; my clothes are soaked right through to the skin.

I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all a-bout;

The sun and the rain, scraps of paper washing down the drain.

Chorus 2:

I feel the rain, falling on my face,

I can say there is no better place.

Than standing up, in the falling down,

In so much rain, I could almost drown.

Interlude:

F# Bm, E7, F# Bm D E7 F# Dm

Verse 4:

It's raining a-gain; a crack in the clouds reveals blue skies.

I've been feeling so low, but now every-thing is on my side;

The sun and the rain, walk with me; fill my heart a-gain.

Chorus 3:

I hear the rain, falling in my ears,

Washing away the weari-ness, like tears.

I can feel my troubles running down;

Disappear into the silent sound.

*KEY CHANGE*

Chorus 4:

I feel the rain, falling on my face,

I can say there is no better place.

Than standing up, in the falling down,

In so much rain, I could almost drown.

Chorus 5:

Do de do, do de, do do do,

Do de do de do de, do do do.

Do de do, do de, do do do,

Do de do de do de, do do do.
