More songs by The Hollies


This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

Intro: Am  A2  Am  Am7  Am   E7sus4/B  Em7/B

    Am        %          %           %
    Bus Stop, wet day, she's there, I say
    Am           %    %    %
    Please share my umbrella
    Am         %          %           %
    Bus stops, bus goes, she stays, love grows
    Am    %    %   [% G]
    Under my umbrella
    C        G      Am   %
    All that summer we enjoyed it
    Dm7/A    %        Em    %
    Wind and rain and shine
    Am     %      %    %
    That umbrella we employed it
       Am     Em      Am   %
    By August she was mine

C     %       B       %       Em      G      C
Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
    %           Am     %         B       %          Em % % %
Sometimes she'd shop & she would show me what she'd bought
C      %     B         %     Em        G       C
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
    %      Am       %        B        %      Em % % %
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

    Am         %          %           %
    That's the way the whole thing started
    Am           %    %    %
    Silly but it's true
    Am         %          %           %
    Thinking of our sweet romance
    Am    %    %   [% G]
    Beginning in a queue
    C        G      Am   %
    Came the sun, the ice was melting
    Dm7/A    %        Em    %
    No more sheltering now
    Am     %      %    %
    Nice to think that that umbrella
    Am     Em   Am  %
    Led me to a vow
