[Intro 1]
[A][D][G][Bm][G][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]From Northenden to Partington,
[G]it’[Bm]s rain
[G]From Altrincham to
[Asus4]Chadderton, it’s[A] rain
From [D]Moss Side to Swinton,
[G]hardly [Bm]Spain[G][D]
It’s a [G]picture postcard of 'Wish
they [A]never came'

[Verse 2]
And whilst [G]that deckchair in the
garden it makes no [D]sense[Bm]
[A]It doesn’t spoil the view or
cause of[D]fense[Bm]
Those [G]Floridas,
[Em]Bava[G]rias and Kents[D][Bm][D][Bm]
Make [A]gentlemen wear shorts
but don’t make gent[D]s

[Verse 3]
So [D]convertible stay garage bound
Save [Bm]after sun for later
If [Em]rain makes Britain [G]great
Then [A]Manchester is greater

[Verse 4]
As you [D]dry your clothes once again
[Bm]Upon the radiator
[Em]What makes Britain [G]great
Makes [A]Manchester yet greater

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][Bm][D][G][A]

[Verse 5]
From [D]Cheetham Hill [G]to
[Bm]Wythenshawe, it’s rain[D]
[G]Gorton, Salford, Sale,
pretty much [A]the same
As I’m[D]caught up without my
jacket once [G]again[Bm][G][D]
The [G]raindrops on my face
play a sweet [A]refrain

[Verse 6]
[A]
And as [G]winter turns
reluctantly to [D]spring
[Bm]For the [A]clouds above the city
there’s one last [D]fling[Bm]
[G]Swallows build their nests,
chaffinch [D]sing
[Bm]And the [A]sun strolls into
town like long lost [D]king

[Verse 7]
So [D]convertible stay garage bound
Save [Bm]after sun for later
If [Em]rain makes Britain [G]great
Then [A]Manchester is greater

[Verse 8]
As you [D]dry your clothes once again
[Bm]Upon the radiator
[Em]What makes Britain [G]great
Makes [A]Manchester yet greater

[Verse 9]
And the [G]mood of this whole
sodden place is [D]melancholy
[Bm]Like the [A]sun came out to play,
shone through the [D]clouds
But dropped its lolly
And [G]everyone looks so disappointed,
[D]so, so sorry
[Bm]Like the [A]rain blew into town,
kidnapped [D]the sun
And stole its brolly
[G][A][D]

[Verse 10]
So convertible stay garage bound
Save [Bm]after sun for later
If [Em]rain makes Britain [G]great
Then [A]Manchester is greater

[Verse 11]
As you [D]dry your clothes once again
[Bm]Upon the radiator
[Em]What makes Britain [G]great
Makes [A]Manchester yet greater
[D]
