As interpreted by Joe G
IN TWO DIFFERENT TUNINGS
In standard tuning, The A/G# is a real niusance (402220). You could play it with a capo
2 in which the verses would be Em and D, but in standard tuning you can't get the low D
note, so the capo kind of ruins it. FOR THE EASIER VERSION (Drop D tuning with a capo
2), SCROLL DOWN! I have both versions here! --jg
In Standard Tuning:
Intro: (F#m, E)
[F#m]
[E]
[F#m]The summer rain is falling
Like its never going to stop here it's been [E]ages.
[F#m]Puddles form on city corners
Businessmen they leap
Between the [E]edges.
[F#m]Mmmmm... Mmmm [E]mmmm.
Um[F#m]brellas take up battle spots
But nature's fury always proves much [E]stronger.
And I've been [F#m]sitting in my room
Wondering if I'm going to last much [E]longer.
And [A]I've [A/G#]been [F#m]so [E]damn [B]sure
That [C#m]I've been here [B]before.
I'll [A]give [A/G#]back [F#m]what [E]I [B]borrowed
And start today to[E]morrow.
[F#m]I've been watching over you
Watching while you're [E]sleeping.
[F#m]Visions slowly come to me
Of you when you were [E]sixteen,
[F#m]Standing in your neighbour's house
Like the ones I've [E]shown you.
[F#m]Sometimes I get the feeling
That I've always [E]known you.
And [A]I've [A/G#]been [F#m]so [E]damn [B]sure
That [C#m]I've been here [B]before.
I'll [A]rise [A/G#]a....[F#m]bove [E]my [B]sorrow
And start today to[C#m]morrow.
[E] Ye[C#m]ah...[A][E]
The r[A]ain's [A/G#]gone, [F#m]here [E]come the [B]swallows.
Let's start today to[E]morrow.
AND NOW FOR THE DROP-D VERSION:
This version is easier but requires different tuning.
Tune your low E string down two notes to D, and put a capo on the 2nd fret. All chords
relative to the capo.
Chords in Drop D:
Em: 222000
D: 000232
G: 555433 or 55543X
G/F#: 455433 or 45543X
A: X02220 (same as standard tuning)
Bm: X24432 (same as standard tuning)
The chords below also sound okay without the Drop D tuning, but you won't get the low D
note and will have to adjust the picking pattern to use the higher D (open 4th string)
Still use a capo on 2 though.
Intro: (Em, D)
[Em]
[D]
[Em]The summer rain is falling

[Em]Puddles form on city corners

Wondering if I'm going to last much [D]longer.
And [G]I've [G/F#]been [Em]so [D]damn [A]sure
That [Bm]I've been here [A]before.
I'll [G]give [G/F#]back [Em]what [D]I [A]borrowed
And start today to[D]morrow.
[Em]I've been watching over you
Watching while you're [D]sleeping.
[Em]Visions slowly come to me

I'll [G]rise [G/F#]a....[Em]bove [D]my [A]sorrow
And start today to[Bm]morrow.
[D] Ye[Bm]ah...[G][E]
The r[G]ain's [G/F#]gone, [Em]here [D]come the [A]swallows.
