I couldn't find the chords for this song anywhere so I thought I'd take a stab at it.
I'm pretty sure the song uses the same four chords over
and over. If you listen to the piano in the intro you can hear the third chord is a
variation (I think with a 7) and I'm unsure about the second
and fourth chords, but this sounds pretty good, even playing along with the track.
Comments welcome.
Standard tuning, Capo 1
Intro: G Cadd9 D Cadd9
[G]It's funny ho[Cadd9]w the [D]smile in your eyes[Cadd9]
[G]Is slowly f[Cadd9]ading with the last[D] days in July[Cadd9]
[G]The year is dro[Cadd9]wning like the [D]calendar grows thin[Cadd9]
[G]You'll sail away [Cadd9]again with your bac[D]k against the wind[Cadd9]
Chorus:
G Cadd9 D Cadd9... sim.
And when the cold wind blows, you're gone
And I will hold my head again
But you can't run from the truth
Of oooh the London rain
Please send me beaches when my world is cold and weak
And press me flowers in the pages of the diaries you keep
It still won't fill the spot beside me in the bed where you sleep
As the calendar repeats
And when the cold wind blows, you're gone
And I will hold my head again
But you can't run from the truth
Of oooh the London rain
Yeah, just say it like you mean it
A last look of summer on your face
I swear I believe that
That someday you will stay
I can't take or leave it
I'll take it anywhere with you
I'll take it anywhere
And when the cold wind blows, you're gone
And I will hold my head again
But you can't run from the truth
Of oooh the London rain
