The [G] rain wasn't made [C] of [G] water
The snow didn't [C] have a place [G] in the sun
So we slipped behind the rainbow
[Am] And lay back till [E] we had done
[C] And then the [G] rain wasn't [C] made of water
[G] [C] And the snow [G] didn't [C] have a place [G] in the sun
[A] So we slipped [G] behind [Am] the [G] rainbow
[Am]
And lay back till [E] we had done
[A] [Am]
[G]
[E]
[Em] [A] [G] Blue northern lights [F] on back streets
[A] I [G] told the [C] coachman to drive [F] me on
[Am] It's the same [G] old [F]
destination
[A] But a different [G] world [C] to [F] sing upon
[D] So it blew [F] back his head [G] and he [D] counted
[A] I got out about five to nine
[D] And I went [F] out to state [G]
doorkeeper
Said [A] mister get me [C] to that state [E] on time
[C] And then the rain [G] wasn't made [C] of water
[G] [C] The snow [G] didn't [C] have a [G] place in the sun
So [A] we slipped [G] behind [A] the [G] rainbow
[A] And lay back till we [E] had done
[Am] I [G] packed my [F]
ammunition
[Am] [G] Inside the [D] friend room was shouting
[F] Uncle, [A] but I had the [G] most [F] funny feeling
[A] It [G] wasn't me [C] they were shouting [F] for
So [D] I told [F] our date [G] is not allowed to meet
I [A] said oh baby let us go for a ride
And [D] we lay [F] upon [G] two drinks or four
[A] And popped them so neatly [E]
inside
And [C] then the rain [G] wasn't made [C] of [G] water
[C] The snow [G] didn't have [C] a [G] place in the sun
So [Am] we slipped [G] behind [A] the [G] rainbow

[A] Well it should have been room for two
Or [D] you can drive [F] me to the [G]
airplane
But [A] don't let me get the [E] rainbow blues
And [C] then the rain [G] wasn't made [C] of water
