Rainbows Blues

         C           G       C      G
    The rain wasn't made of water
          C          G       C           G
    The snow didn't have a place in the sun
            Am       G        Am  G
    So we slipped behind the rainbow
         Am        C           E
    And laid back till we had done

    And then the rain wasn't made of water
    And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
    So we slipped behind the rainbow
    And laid back till we had done

Am    Am    Am    G Am C Dm E

   Am             G         F            F G
Through northern lights on back streets
Am          G               C      F
I told the coachman "just drive me on
          Am       G    F      F G
It's the same old destination
       Am        G        C     F
But a different world to sing upon"
         Dm            F          G   Dm
So he threw back his head and he counted
      Am         C    G  Am  Am
I got out about five to nine
            Dm       F         G  Dm
And I waved at the stage door-keeper
               Am             C       E
Said "mister, get me to the stage on time"

    And then the rain wasn't made of water
    And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
    So we slipped behind the rainbow
    And laid back till we had done

I packed my ammunition
Inside the crowd was shouting "encore"
But I had a most funny feeling
It wasn't me they were shouting for
So when the tall dark lady smiled at me
I said "oh baby let us go for a ride"
And we came upon two drinks or four
And popped them oh so neatly inside

    And then the rain wasn't made of water
    And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
    So we slipped behind the rainbow
    And laid back till we had done

Solo: Am  G  F  F G |x7 Am  G  C  F  Dm  F

        Dm       F          G   Dm
Let me pack you deep in my suitcase
            Am         C    G    Am  Am
Oh there's sure to be room for two
             Dm      F      G   Dm
Or you can drive me to the airplane
           Am               C        E
But don't let me get those rainbow blues

    And then the rain wasn't made of water
    And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
    So we slipped behind the rainbow
    And laid back till we had done

    So then the rain wasn't made of water
    And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
    So we slipped behind the rainbow
    And laid back till we had done

         C           G       C      G
    The rain wasn't made of water
          C          G       C           G
    The snow didn't have a place in the sun
         C           G       C      G
    The rain wasn't made of water
          C          G       C           G
    The snow didn't have a place in the sun
