[Verse 1]
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
The nearer we got to An - dorra, the sun set on the left,
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
The more the mountains pointed to the black clouds in the west,
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
Hey, there's a darkness turned the sky that's not the night,
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
Hey, there's a raincloud there that's shutting out the light!
[Chorus]
E minorEm C majorC BB B7/A
What do I tell you? It's... always the same,
Em/GEm/G B7/F# E minorEm
When you run for the sun, you catch the rain------!
[Verse 2]
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
As soon as we reached Barce - lona the cold wind touched the beach,
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
And the sun we'd left in London was way beyond our reach,
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
"Hey," I said, "Darling, it seems a waste of time,
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
Hey, all we do is sit, and drink our Spanish wine!"
[Chorus]
E minorEm C majorC BB B7/A
What do I tell you? It's... always the same,
Em/GEm/G B7/F# E minorEm
When you run for the sun, you catch the rain--------!
[Verse 3]
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
In all the tales of Gra - nada ...they tell of Islam's run,
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
They lived beneath a Moorish Lord, be - neath the Moorish sun,
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
Oh, how we yearned to turn our faces to that glare,
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
But down, from the mountains, came the rain to soak our hair!
[Chorus]
E minorEm C majorC BB B7/A
What do I tell you? It's... always the same,
Em/GEm/G B7/F# E minorEm
When you run for the sun, you catch the rain---------!
E minorEm C majorC BB B7/A
What do I tell you? It's... always the same,
Em/GEm/G B7/F# E minorEm
When you run for the sun, you catch the rain---------!
