The (Em)nearer we got to An(D)dorra, the (G)sun set on the (A)left,           t
The (Em)more the mountains (D)pointed to the (G)black clouds in the (A)west,
(Em)Hey, there's a (D)darkness turned the (G)sky that's not the (A)night,
(Em)Hey, there's a (D)raincloud there that's (G)shutting out the (A)light!

(Em)What do I (C)tell you? It's..(B) always the (B7)same,
When you (Em)run for the (B7)sun, you catch the (Em)rain

As (Em)soon as we reached Barce (D)lona the (G)cold wind touched the (A)beach,
And the (Em)sun we'd left in (D)London was (G)way beyond our (A)reach,
(Em)Hey, I said, "(D)Darling, it (G)seems a waste of (A)time,
(Em)Hey, all we (D)do is sit, and (G)drink our Spanish (A)wine!

(Em)What do I (C)tell you? It's..(B) always the (B7)same,
When you (Em)run for the (B7)sun, you catch the (Em)rain

In all the tales of Gra(D)nada... they (G)tell of Islam's (A)run,
They (Em)lived beneath a (D)Moorish Lord, be(G)neath the Moorish (A)sun,
(Em)Oh, how we (D)yearned to turn our (G)faces to that (A)glare
(Em)But down from the (D)mountains came the (G)rain to soak our (A)hair

(Em)What do I (C)tell you? It's..(B) always the (B7)same,
When you (EM)run for the (B7)sun, you catch the (EM)rain

(Em)What do I (C)tell you? It's..(B) always the (B7)same,
When you (Em)run for the (B7)sun, you catch the (Em)rain

How to practise this song

1
Practise the barre chord B
B is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

2
Practise the change: B ↔ A
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
