Well, the (Eb)sky has fi n’lly o pened,

the (Ab)rain and wind stopped blow ing.

But you’re (Cm)stuck out in the same old storm a gain.

You hold (Eb)tight to your um brel (Cm)la.

Well, dar ling, (Ab)I’m just try ing to tell ya that there’s (Cm)al ways been a rain bow hang ing (Bb7)o ver your head.

If you could see what I see,
