Intro:
Bm E Bm C D G D
GOld man walking bG7y the sea is drCeaming
DrAmeaming of the dDays when he was yGoungD  
HGand in hand, a lG7ittle boy besCide him
HAmearing about the wDeekends under the sGunC  G  
ABmh, most of Eall I remBmember
A little sCong we Dused to plGay
It was abE7out the English wAmeather
Always rFaining on a sunny dEay and it went
DAh la, lEa, la, sAummer rain is pA7ouring down agDain
And it's getting wDmetter
As a mAatter of fact it cF#7ouldn't be better
For bBmaby and me, sE7itting on my knAeesA7  
DAh la lEa la, sAummer rain is fA7alling down
On mDy umbrella abDmove me
The vAery first time she sF#7aid she loved me
Was in the sBmummer rain and it's fA7ine wEith mAeD  
WGalking with your grG7eat grandfather's dCaughter
SAmomehow we were Dalways late for tGeaD  
And smGall boys making mG7ischief in the wCater
WAmatching deck chairs flDoating away out to sGeaC  G  
ABmh, but nEmow the memory's fBmading
How the pCast just slDips awGay
But every tE7ime that it starts rAmaining
I can hFear the band begin to plEay
DAh la, lEa, la, sAummer rain is pA7ouring down agDain
And it's getting wDmetter
As a mAatter of fact it cF#7ouldn't be better
For bBmaby and me, sE7itting on my knAeesA7  
DAh la lEa la, sAummer rain is fA7alling down
On mDy umbrella abDmove me
The vAery first time she sF#7aid she loved me
Was in the sBmummer rain and it's fA7ine wEith mC#me,    F#7la lF#a la
SBmummer rain is fA7ine wEith mAeD  A  A7  
DAh la, lEa, la, sAummer rain is pA7ouring down agDain
And it's getting wDmetter
As a mAatter of fact it cF#7ouldn't be better
For bBmaby and me, sE7itting on my knAeesA7
