A7 G D A7 D G D A7 D
Yesterday I heard the rain, whispering your name,
Em7/9 Em7 G/B A7 Em7 A7
Asking where you'd gone;
G Cdim Em7 G B7 A7
It fell softly from the clouds on the silent crowds,
G D A7 D D7M D7
As I wandered on.
Cdim G G/F# B7 Cdim Em B+ Em7 Em6
Out of doorways, black umbrellas came to pursue me,
C#7 Cdim C#7
Faceless people as they passed
Cdim F#m F#m7+ Edim Em7 A7
Were looking through me no one knew me.
A7 G D A7 D G D A7 D
Yesterday I shut my eyes, face-up to the skies,
Em7/9 Em7 G/B A7 Em7 A7
Drinkin' in the rain;
G Cdim Em7 G B7 A7
But your image still was there, floating in the air,
Gdim G/B A7/13- D7M
Brighter than a flame.
D7 G G/F# C#m5-/7 F# F#7
Yesterday I saw a city,
Edim Bm Bm/E E7/9 E7
Full of shadows, without pity,
Edim D9 D D7M D5+ G6 G5 G/B A7 A7/13-
And I heard the steady rain whispering your name,
D9 D D7M D
Whispering your name.
