Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret
[Intro]
B5 A5 E5 B5
[Verse 1]
Em D C G D/F#
Through northern lights on back streets
Em D G C
I told the coachman, "Just drive me on
G D C G D/F#
It's the same old destination
Em D G C
But a different world to sing upon"
Am D
So he threw back his head and he counted
Em A5 G
I jumped out about five to nine
A5 D C A5 G
And I waved at the stage door-keeper
A5 E5 B
Said, "Mister, get me to the stage on time"
[Chorus 1]
G D G C
Oh, but the rain wasn't made of water
D G D G D
And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
Em D G C D
So I slipped behind a rainbow
E5 B
And waited till the show had done
[Verse 2]
Em D C G D/F#
I packed my ammunition
Em D G C
Inside the crowd was shouting, "Encore"
G D C G D/F#
But I had a most funny feeling
Em D G C
It wasn't me they were shouting for
Am D
So when the tall dark lady smiled at me
Em A5 G
I said, "Oh, baby let us go for a ride"
A5 D C A5 G
And we came upon two drinks or four
A5 E5 B
And popped them oh so neatly inside
[Chorus 2]
G D G C
Oh, and the rain wasn't made of water
D G D G D
And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
Em D G C D
So it slipped behind a rainbow
E5 B
And laid there until we had done
[Instrumental]
Em D C G D/F#

[Verse 3]
Am D
Let me pack you deep in my suitcase
Em A5 G
For there's sure to be room for two
A5 D C A5 G
Or you can drive me to the airplane
A5 E5 B
But don't let me catch those rainbow blues
[Chorus 3]
G D G C
Oh, and the rain wasn't made of water
D G D G D
And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
Em D G C D
So it slipped behind a rainbow
E5 B
And laid there until we had done
G D G C
Oh, and the rain wasn't made of water
D G D G D
And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
Em D G C D
So it slipped behind a rainbow
E5 B A5 E5 B
And laid there until we had done
