[B]
[E] From North London to Paddington [C#m] it's rain
[A] From Montreal to Chatterton [B] it's rain
[E] From my side to Swinton, [C#m] Harlow, Spain
[A] It's a picture postcard of which [E] they [B] never came
And [A] whilst that picture in the garden, [F#m] it makes [E] no sense
[C#m] [B] It doesn't spawn a view [G#m] of [E] Tarzan's Fence
[C#m] [A] Those pirate [F#m] decks with larias [E] and cants
[C#m] [B] Make gentlemen wish off [G#m] the don't [E] make gents
So convertible, stay garish brown
[C#m] See Baptisan, Ruleda, [A] if rain they spread and grey
[B] Then Manchester is greater as [E] June dry grows
Once again [C#m] upon the radiator
[F#m] What makes Britain great, makes [B] Manchester yet greater
[E] From
[C#m]
[E] [A]
[B]
[E] Cheetham Hill to Wythenshawe [C#m] it's rain
[E] [A] Gardens offer sale pretty much [B] the same
Eyes [E] uncovered without my jacket [C#m] once again
[E] [A] The raindrops on my face play a sweet [B] refrain
And [A] as winter turns [F#m] reluctantly [E] to spring
[B] For the clouds above the city is one [E] last flame
[A] Swallowed buildings, [F#m] chaff [E] and shame
[C#m] [B] And the sun strolls into town [G#m] like a long [E] lost game
So convertible, stay garish brown
[C#m] See Baptisan, Ruleda, [F#m] if rain they spread [A] and grey
[B] Then Manchester is greater as [E] June dry grows
Once again [C#m] upon the radiator
[F#m] What makes Britain great, [B] makes Manchester yet greater
[A] On the road to this whole sodden place [E] is melancholy
[B] Like the song came out to plain shine
Through [E] the clouds but dropped its [C#m]
lullet
[A] And everyone looks so [E] disappointed, so so sorry
[B] Like a rain glow into town [G#m] kidnapped [E] for sun and stole its pride
[C#m] [A] [B]
[E]
So convertible, stay garish brown
[C#m] See Baptisan, Ruleda, [F#m] if rain they spread and grey
[B] Then Manchester is greater as [E] June dry grows
Once again [C#m] upon the radiator
[F#m] What [G#] makes Britain [A] great, [B] makes Manchester yet greater
