    The rCain wasn't mGade of wCaterG  
    The snCow didn't hGave a plCace in the sGun
    So we slAmipped behGind the rAmainbGow
    And lAmaid back tCill we had dEone
    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
ThrAmough northern lGights on bFack streetsF  G  
AmI told the cGoachman "just drCive me Fon
It's the sAmame old dGestinFationF  G  
But a dAmifferent wGorld to sCing upFon"
So he thrDmew back his heFad and he cGountDmed
I got Amout about fCive tGo nAmineAm  
And I waved Dmat the stFage door-kGeepDmer
Said "mister, gAmet me to the stCage on tEime"
    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  
Let me pDmack you dFeep in my sGuitcDmase
Oh there's sAmure to be rCoom fGor twAmoAm  
Or you can drDmive me tFo the aGirplDmane
But don't lAmet me get those rCainbow blEues
    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
    The rCain wasn't mGade of wCaterG  
    The snCow didn't hGave a plCace in the sGun
    The rCain wasn't mGade of wCaterG  
    The snCow didn't hGave a plCace in the sGun

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

Am G F F G Am G C F Dm F

Solo: |x7

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

The rain wasn't made of water
