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

*from 'Utter Madness' (1986)*


*CAPO 3rd FRET*

(Original Key: Bb)


Intro:

F                Ab
 Do de do do de, do do do,
F                   Bb
 Do de do de do de, do do do.

Verse 1: 

G               Bb
 It's raining a-gain;
G                 Eb             G
 I'm hearing it's pitter-patter, down.
                Bb
It's wet in the street;
G               Eb                   A7
 Reflecting the lights and splashing feet.
           Bb
Nowhere to go,
A7             Bb          Bbmaj7
 And nothing I have to do, have to do.

Verse 2:

G               Bb
 It's raining a-gain;
G             Eb                     G
 I follow the Christmas lights, down town.
                Bb
I'm leaving the flow,
A7                 Bb          Bbmaj7
 Of people walking all around, round and round.

Chorus 1:

D7          C                      Em
 I hear the sound of rain, falling in my ears,
Bb                      F
 Washing away the weari-ness, like tears.
C                       Em
 I can feel my troubles running down;
Bb                  F
 Disappear into the silent sound.

Verse 3:

G               Bb
 Just walking a-long;
G               Eb                          G
 My clothes are soaked right through to the skin.
            Bb
I haven't a doubt,
                  G       Eb    A7
That this is what life is all a-bout;
                Bb
The sun and the rain,
A7                       Bbmaj7
 Scraps of paper washing down the drain.

Chorus 2:

D7  C                      Em
  I feel the rain, falling on my face,
Bb                     F
 I can say there is no better place.
C                         Em
 Than standing up, in the falling down,
Bb                        F
 In so much rain, I could almost drown.

Interlude:

E  Am  Am/C  D7,

Verse 4:

G               Bb
 It's raining a-gain;
G               Eb                  G
 A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies.
                     Bb
I've been feeling so low,
              G        Eb    A7
But now every-thing is on my side;
                Bb
The sun and the rain,
A7                     Bbmaj7
 Walk with me; fill my heart again.

Chorus 3:

D7          C                      Em
 I hear the sound of rain, falling in my ears,
Bb                      F
 Washing away the weari-ness, like tears.
C                       Em
 I can feel my troubles running down;
Bb                  F
 Disappear into the silent sound.

D7  C                      Em
  I feel the rain, falling on my face,
Bb                     F
 I can say there is no better place.
C                         Em
 Than standing up, in the falling down,
Bb                        F
 In so much rain, I could almost drown.

Coda:

D7 C                Em
    Do de do do de, do do do,
Bb                  F
 Do de do de do de, do do do.
C                Em
 Do de do do de, do do do,
Bb                  F
 Do de do de do de, do do do.
