[D] [C]
[Eb] [Db]
[C] Don't tell me not to love, just send me back
Ice candy and a ton of Bollywood back
Don't [Dm] bring a cloud around to rain [C] on my parade
[D]
[C] Don't tell me not to fly, I've simply got to
If someone takes a spell, it's midnight
You will [D] tell G.O.A.T.
To [C] rain on my parade
I'll [F] turn the band down
And I'll [C] beat my drum
And [F] if I'm down, you're to [G] act [C] better
At least I didn't [G] fake it
I nearly didn't [C] make it
Maybe I'm just a rose of ship affection
A crackle on the nose of life's collection
A [D] cinder of a shiny [Am] apple of his eye
[C] I've got to fly once, I've got to try [G] once
I think that I was right, I
Love you juicy, juicy, and I [B] say
[Dm] I'll fight [C] till the cat-lap
Oh baby, I'm a-comin'
Don't tell me not to march, my heart's a-troublin'
I told [D] you you're allowed to rain [C] on my parade
[D]
[Ab] I'm gonna live and live now
[Gb] Get what [Ab] I want, I know [A] how
One blow, board the ocean bank
One blow, that bell will go [Bb] clang
Right on the target and wham
One shot, one gunshot, and [B] bam
[C]
Don't tell me not to live [G] simple
Life's candy and the sun's a baller, but
Don't bring a cloud around
New [Cm] look, [C] right?
Don't tell me not to fly, I've simply got to
If someone takes a spill, it's me, not you
I [G] told you you're allowed to [C] rain on [Fm] my [Am]
[Ab] parade
Rain on my
[G]
[A] Parade
