THAT SONG ABOUT A RAINBOW

Words and music by Lachlan Irvine


[C]/[G]/[C][D][G]/

[G] It was raining yesterday as I was [C] driving down the road,
I [G] didn't have much going on, my [D] mind in cruising mode.
Not [C] thinking where to go or what to [G] do,
I saw a [C] rainbow in the [D] sky and thought of [G] you.

[G] A rainbow brings a promise of a [C] better time to come,
When the [G] drops that fall from icy clouds meet the [D] warm rays of the sun.
Bringing [C] colours that can change your point of [G] view,
I saw a [C] rainbow in the [D] sky and thought of [G] you.

With [G] colours shining through against a [C] sky of cloudy grey,
It [G] gave my mood a little lift and [D] brightened up the day.
And [C] just when I was feeling kind of [G] blue
I saw a [C] rainbow in the [D] sky and thought of [G] you.

[G] The brightly shining colours nature [C] put up on display
[G] Remind me how the thought of you can [D] take my breath away.
And [C] with a sudden jolt of deja [G] vue,
I saw a [C] rainbow in the [D] sky and thought of [G] you.

[G] There's nothing quite so beautiful as a [C] rainbow in the sky.
I [G] couldn't help but think of you, and [Am7] here's the reason [D7] why:
You see, a [C] rainbow doesn't stay around for [G] long,
I saw a [C] rainbow yester-[D]-day and now it's [G] gone.

[C]/[G]/[C][D][G]/

No, a [C] rainbow doesn't stay around for [G] long,
I saw a [C] rainbow yester-[D]-day - and now it's [G] gone.

So [C] here am I still feeling kind of [G] blue.
I saw a [C] rainbow yester-[D]-day and thought of [G] you. [D][G]
