Verse 1:

Am
Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
G
Under my umbrella

C G Am/E
All that summer we enjoyed it
Dm Em
Wind and rain and shine
Am
That umbrella, we employed it
Em Am
By August, she was mine

Chorus:

C/G B7 Em /D C
Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Am/C B7 Em /D /C /B
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
C/G B7 Em /D C
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Am/C B7 Em
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Verse 2:

That's the way the whole thing started
Silly but it's true
Thinkin' of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue

Came the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow
