Capo 5th 
All chords are relative to capo
? = 3-2-0-0-1-0
BmWhile they have been F#eating
The Emrain has started Bmfalling,
EmGradually Bmgathering in F#strength;
BmWhat began a F#drizzle
EmHas now become Bmtorrential,
EmAnd doesn’t look like Bmcoming to an F#end.
The two bedraggled figures
That huddle in the doorway,
With nothing vaguely waterproof to wear,
Are now secretly wishing
They’d listened to their mothers
When being told to always be prepared.
Screaming
        C? G6  
’geronimo!’,  
TEhey run for it dAmown the road;
                      C?   G6  
With an arm around her waist
EHe leads her to a Amplace
EHe knows.
Soaked through, but happy,
They squelch up to the landing;
The room before them
Makes a welcome sight.
The coal fire is throwing
Strange shapes upon the hearthrug,
And crying out to be knelt down beside.
She pulls off her jumper
And flings it in the corner;
He picks it up and hangs it on a chair.
She puts on a record
And sings into her coffee;
He Emputs a blanket rBmound her,
Sits her F#down
And dries her Embeautiful Bmhair.

Capo 5th

All chords are relative to capo

? = 3-2-0-0-1-0

Bm F#

While they have been eating

Em Bm

The rain has started falling,

Em Bm F#

Gradually gathering in strength;

Bm F#

What began a drizzle

Em Bm

Has now become torrential,

Em Bm F#

And doesn’t look like coming to an end.

The two bedraggled figures

That huddle in the doorway,

With nothing vaguely waterproof to wear,

Are now secretly wishing

They’d listened to their mothers

When being told to always be prepared.

Screaming

C G6

’geronimo!’,

E Am

They run for it down the road;

C G6

With an arm around her waist

E Am

He leads her to a place

He knows.

Soaked through, but happy,

They squelch up to the landing;

The room before them

Makes a welcome sight.

The coal fire is throwing

Strange shapes upon the hearthrug,

And crying out to be knelt down beside.

She pulls off her jumper

And flings it in the corner;

He picks it up and hangs it on a chair.

She puts on a record

And sings into her coffee;

Em Bm

He puts a blanket round her,

Sits her down

Em Bm

And dries her beautiful hair.
