NOTES:
GG wrote this for The Hollies in 1966, and it got to #5 in the UK charts.

This was transcribed from a BBC2 "Later On..." programme in 1998.
Then, GG used a capo on 2, and this is the key he played it in.

VERSE:
Em
Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say, "Please share my umbrella"
                                                              D
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows, under my umbrella.
G        D      Em             C                 D
All that summer we enjoyed it, wind and rain and shine.
Em                                        D      Em
That umbrella, we employed it, by August, she was mine.


CHORUS:
G             F7              Bm             G
Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop,
                C                     F7                 Bm
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she'd bought.
G            F7              Bm                G
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane,
                             F7              Bm
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same.


VERSE:
That's the way the whole thing started, silly but it's true,
Thinking 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.
