GJuly Cskies ride on Ghumid highs, EmRain is Cin the Dair
GLike butterCflies, time Gflutters by. EmI wish Cyou were Dhere
DGusty, Cgreen summer Gvalleys Emseem to Cwait for the Drain
GShadows Cslide under Gcloudy skies… EmMy mind flies Chome Dagain
And tChunder Drolls like Ghills beEmlow, with Cmallets on Ganvils of FfleeceD  
And Ctucked under Dcovers by Gsweet nature's Emmother, the Csun pretends to DsleepD7  
On a Gbeautiful Ccloudy Dday. When the Gsummertime Cshowers are Dbeckoned this way
On a Gbeautiful Ccloudy Dday. ReEmmember the Cwishes, Grecall the Bmways
On a Cbeautiful Dcloudy Gday
EmOff in the distance, the Bmcause meets resistance And the Cclash is Dfelt in the Gwind
Oh, the Emhill country sky breathes a Bmstill, sultry sigh
And a Cchild wanders homeward aDgainD7  
GWind blown, the Cleaves in the Gbreeze have flown Emfar since their Cfirst glimpse oDf light
When Gsuntanned and Cbarefoot the Gdays began Emwarm 'neath a Cmorning Dsky
And Cyou and DI were Geye to Emeye And Cwrestled Gin the FsunD  
With CKoolaide mousDtaches and Gknees behind Empatches… CAll the things we DdoneD7  
On a Gbeautiful Ccloudy Dday. When the Gsummertime Cshowers are Ddestined to stay
On a Gbeautiful Ccloudy Dday. ReEmmember the Cwishes and Grecall the Bmways
On a Cbeautiful Dcloudy Gday
When Cyou and DI were Geye to Emeye And Cwrestled Gin the FsunD  
With CKoolaide mousDtaches and Gknees behind Empatches… CAll the things we DdoneD7  
On a Gbeautiful Ccloudy Dday, on a Gbeautiful Ccloudy Dday
ReEmmember the Cwishes, Grecall the Bmways on a bCeautiful Dcloudy Gday

Chords in this song · guitar

G C G Em C D

July skies ride on humid highs, Rain is in the air

G C G Em C D

Like butterflies, time flutters by. I wish you were here

G C G Em C D

Dusty, green summer valleys seem to wait for the rain

G C G Em C D

Shadows slide under cloudy skies… My mind flies home again

C D G Em C G F D

And thunder rolls like hills below, with mallets on anvils of fleece

C D G Em C D D7

And tucked under covers by sweet nature's mother, the sun pretends to sleep

G C D G C D

On a beautiful cloudy day. When the summertime showers are beckoned this way

G C D Em C G Bm

On a beautiful cloudy day. Remember the wishes, recall the ways

C D G

On a beautiful cloudy day

Em Bm C D G

Off in the distance, the cause meets resistance And the clash is felt in the wind

Em Bm

Oh, the hill country sky breathes a still, sultry sigh

C D D7

And a child wanders homeward again

G C G Em C D

Wind blown, the leaves in the breeze have flown far since their first glimpse of light

G C G Em C D

When suntanned and barefoot the days began warm 'neath a morning sky

C D G Em C G F D

And you and I were eye to eye And wrestled in the sun

C D G Em C D D7

With Koolaide moustaches and knees behind patches… All the things we done

G C D G C D

On a beautiful cloudy day. When the summertime showers are destined to stay

G C D Em C G Bm

On a beautiful cloudy day. Remember the wishes and recall the ways

C D G

On a beautiful cloudy day

C D G Em C G F D

When you and I were eye to eye And wrestled in the sun

C D G Em C D D7

With Koolaide moustaches and knees behind patches… All the things we done

G C D G C D

On a beautiful cloudy day, on a beautiful cloudy day

Em C G Bm C D G

Remember the wishes, recall the ways on a beautiful cloudy day

Em C G Bm C D G

Remember the wishes, recall the ways on a beautiful cloudy day

Em C G Bm C D G
