Am
Bus Stop, wet day, she’s there, I say

Am
Please share my umbrella

Am
Bus Stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows

Am        | Am     G |
Under my umbrella

C        G      Am
All that summer we enjoyed it

Dm                Em
Wind and rain and shine

Am
That umbrella we employed it

   Am     Em      Am
By August she was mine

[Bridge]

C             B7              Em      Em/D   C
Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop

C/B             Am                 B7                 Em
Sometimes she’d shop and she would show me what she’d bought

C              B7              Em        Em/D    C
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane

    C/B    Am                 B7           | Em | % |
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

[Verse 2]

Am
That’s the way the whole thing started

Am
Silly, but it’s true

Am
Thinking of a sweet romance

  Am
Beginning in a queue

C        G       Am
Came the sun the ice was melting

Dm                 Em
No more sheltering now

Am
Nice to think that that umbrella

Am     Em   Am
Led me to a vow
