I found that using the Fm barré chords, I was able to find
the appropriate chords easier, as I didn't have to concentrate
on changing finger positions.

Fm barré on 1st fret (basically the F without the middle finger:

 How many times've woken up         n' prayed for the rain

                                                     
 How many times've you seen the papers apportion the blame

                                   
 Who gets to s'                      ay

                                   
 Who gets the work'n'who gets the p' ay

                                                        
 I was always told at school       everybody should get the same

                               
 How many times've you been told                             Gm
                                  if you don't ask you don't get

                                   
 How many lives've taken your money ...                      Gm
                          ... your mother said you shouldn't bet

                                
     And who has the              fun

                                
     It's always the man with the gun

                                                  
 Som'one must've told me if you work too hard you can sweat

refrain
=======
                                                  
 There's always the sun (always the sun) There's always the sun

                                                 
Al' ways         al' ways         al' ways     the     sun
