      If you've heard the song, then you know that the chord structure is very unorthodox.

C#7                      C7                            B7
One thousand umbrellas upturned couldn't catch all the rain that drained

          A#7                        A7              E/G#        E7/G#
out of my head when you said we were over and over I cried til I floated

    G
downstream to a town they call

Esus4  D     Esus4 D Esus4  D     Esus4  B7
misery oh oh misery, misery oh oh misery


C#7, C7, B7, A#7, A7, E/G#, E7/G#, G    ...as before


Esus4  D     Esus4  E7
misery oh oh misery

A                       A7       F#dim
  how can you smile and forecast weather's getting better, and you'll soon

                          E7            A
forget her if you let the sunshine come through

A7          A6        A+  A    F#dim
how can you smile and forecast weather's getting better if you never let

            D        B   C#7, G, F#
a girl rain all over you

    B           C#7             G         F#        B   C#7, G7, F#7
And just when I thought that my vista was golden in hue

B            C#7       G7        F#7       B    C#      D  C#  C
one thousand umbrellas opened to spoil the view

and just when I thought that my skies were a June July blue

B            C#7       G7     F#7   B            C#7       G7     F#7
one thousand umbrellas opened,      two thousand umbrellas opened

B            C#7       G7        F#7       B     C#       D   Dmaj7   C
ten thousand umbrellas opened to spoil the view...
