[D Harp - refrain]
+5  +6    +5   -4   +4  +3
Sometimes life gets you down
+4  +5  +5  +5   -4 -4  +4 -4
But you can turn it all around
-3  -4   -4    -4  -4' -4'
The raindrops keep falling
-4'    +4 +4   +4 -4  -3
You're soaking to the bone
+3  +5  +6    +5  -4  +4  +3
And you can't see for the clouds

+5  +6    +5   -4 +4 +3
Sometimes life isn't fair
+4  +5  +5  +5   -4 -4    +4 -4
But you can beat it don't despair
-3  -4   -4    -4  -4' -4'
You win some you lose some
-4'    +4 +4   +4 -4  -3
And then you lose some more
+4  +5+6 +5  +5 -4   +4
You even played your best

[A Harp - hook]
-4  -5   -4    +6  -5
But just round the corner
-4  -5    -4 +6   -5
The sun's looking dapper
-4  -5+6 +5     -5  +5-4
And lady luck's his date
-4  -6 +6 -5   -4  -6 +6  -4-5+6
The happy days are coming again

[Repeat refrain on D Harp]

[A Harp - finale]
-4  -5   -4    +6  -5
But just round the corner
-6' -6' -6' +6 -6' +6 -5 -4 -5
Well the real truth of it's that
+7-6+7 -6+6   -5+6-6
Nobody really knows
+7   -7   -6-5    +4   -5
Life sure doesn't make sense
+4  -5 +6   -6'   -5   -4 -5
But on your boots you can bet
+6   +5-8+7-6' +6   +5  -4+4+6
That everybody gets the blues
-6' +6 -5
