[Verse]
G Am
We were walking, we were barely talking
G
It was late '63
G Am
Clouds were overloaded, and when they exploded
G
You said to me
[CHORUS:]
Am D7
Oh, oh, oh, look at the rain
Am D7 C G
Oh, oh, oh, umbrella day, throw it away
[Verse]
G Am
Out together it was stormy weather
G
We were soaked to the skin
G Am
Thunder crashing, we wee puddle splashing
G
and we started to sing
[CHORUS:]
Am D7
Oh, oh, oh, look at the rain
Am D7 C G
Oh, oh, oh, umbrella day, throw it away
[BRIDGE:]
G D G
Now look my way and see, just how wonderful
D G D
Rain can be, loving you loving me
G
It's going round, round, round
D
Down, down and down
E D7
Round round and round, down, down and down
[Verse]
G Am
we were calling at the water falling
G
As I fell to the ground
G Am
You and I, we really blessed the sky
G
Oh, for this new love we've found
[CHORUS:]
Am D7
Oh, oh, oh, look at the rain
Am D7
Oh, oh, oh, umbrella day,
Am D7
Oh, oh, oh, look at the rain
Am D7
Oh, oh, oh, umbrella day,
G
It's going round, round and round
D
Down, down and down

Round, round, and round, down down and down
