Bm (x24432@1)                 F#While (244322@1)they have been eating
    Em (022000@1)             BmThe (x24432@1)rain has started falling,
Em (022000@1)      Bm (x24432@1)         F#Gradually (244322@1)gathering in strength;
Bm (x24432@1)         F#What (244322@1)began a drizzle
Em (022000@1)           BmHas (x24432@1)now become torrential,
Em (022000@1)                  Bm (x24432@1)         F#And (244322@1)doesn't look like coming to an end.

The two bedraggled figures
That huddle in the doorway,
With nothing vaguely waterproof to wear,
Are now secretly wishing
They'd listened to their mothers
When being told to always be prepared.

Screaming
C (x32010@1)      ? G6'geronimo!', (320000@1) 
 E (022100@1)             AmThey (x02210@1)run for it down the road;
C (x32010@1)                    ?   G6With (320000@1)an arm around her waist
E (022100@1)               AmHe (x02210@1)leads her to a place
EHe (022100@1)knows.

Soaked through, but happy,
They squelch up to the landing;
The room before them
Makes a welcome sight.
The coal fire is throwing
Strange shapes upon the hearthrug,
And crying out to be knelt down beside.

She pulls off her jumper
And flings it in the corner;
He picks it up and hangs it on a chair.
She puts on a record
And sings into her coffee;
   Em (022000@1)            BmHe (x24432@1)puts a blanket round her,
         F#Sits (244322@1)her down
              Em (022000@1)      BmAnd (x24432@1)dries her beautiful hair.
