If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.
   C        D       G
They might as well be dead.

If the rain comes, If the rain comes.

When the sun shines they slip into the shade  (When the sun shines down.)
    C       D       G
And drink their lemonade.   (When the sun shines down.)
         C                    G
When the sun shines, When the sun shines.

Everything's the same.  (When the sun shines down.)

I can show you, I can show you.

It's just a state of mind?    (When the sun shines down.)
