C             E
Where is the sun
F                      C
The sun that used to shine on me?
C             E
Where has it gone
F                C   G
Or is it just a memory?

C                     E
I looked through the window
F                C
Staring at the sky
C              E
Waiting for a moment
F            G
That always passed me by

Chorus:
Am     G      F   C
Black summer rain
Am     G      F
Black summer rain
Am     G      F       C
Black summer rain is falling on me, girl

Where is the love?
The love I need to set me free?
And how can I escape
This gloom that is swallowing me?

Chorus:
Black summer rain
Black summer rain
Black summer rain is falling on me, girl - x2
