Intro:
Bm E Bm C D G D
G Bm C
Old man walking by the sea is dreaming
Am D G D
Dreaming of the days when he was young
G Bm C
Hand in hand, a little boy beside him
Am D G C G
Hearing about the weekends under the sun
Bm E Bm
Ah, most of all I remember
C D G
A little song we used to play
E7 Am
It was about the English weather
F E
Always raining on a sunny day and it went
D E A A7 D
Ah la, la, la, summer rain is pouring down again
Dm
And it's getting wetter
A F#7
As a matter of fact it couldn't be better
Bm E7 A A7
For baby and me, sitting on my knees
D E A A7
Ah la la la, summer rain is falling down
D Dm
On my umbrella above me
A F#7
The very first time she said she loved me
Bm A7 E A D
Was in the summer rain and it's fine with me
G Bm C
Walking with your great grandfather's daughter
Am D G D
Somehow we were always late for tea
G Bm C
And small boys making mischief in the water
Am D G C G
Watching deck chairs floating away out to sea
Bm Em Bm
Ah, but now the memory's fading
C D G
How the past just slips away
E7 Am
But every time that it starts raining
F E
I can hear the band begin to play
D E A A7 D
Ah la, la, la, summer rain is pouring down again
Dm
And it's getting wetter
A F#7
As a matter of fact it couldn't be better
Bm E7 A A7
For baby and me, sitting on my knees
D E A A7
Ah la la la, summer rain is falling down
D Dm
On my umbrella above me
A F#7
The very first time she said she loved me
Bm A7 E C#m F#7 F#
Was in the summer rain and it's fine with me, la la la
Bm A7 E A D A A7
Summer rain is fine with me
D E A A7 D
Ah la, la, la, summer rain is pouring down again
Dm
And it's getting wetter
A F#7
As a matter of fact it couldn't be better
Bm E7 A A7
For baby and me, sitting on my knees
