This hit was written by the great song writer Graham Gouldman and made famous by The Hollies. I wrote an alternate Intro and Outro to make the song a little more interesting (the Intro and Outro are also included). Also, you will see that I merely supplied the chords along with the lyrics instead of tabbing them. Enjoy. Tabbed by: BASSteve Tuning: EADGBE Time signature: 4/4 r = rest (listen for duration) {}= note inside pointed parenthesis still ringing from previous measure *My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song. In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration. However, you will find that I’ve made an attempt to strategically space the notes and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate durations.

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 Em Am That umbrella, we employed it. By August, she was mine. CHORUS C/G B7 Every morning I would see her Em D C Waiting at the stop, Am Sometimes she'd shopped and she would (small letters as single notes) B7 e/Em d/Em c/Em b/Em Show me what she bought. C/G B7 Other people stared as if we Em D C Were both quite insane. Am Someday my name and hers are B7 Em Going to be the same. VERSE 2 Am That's the way the whole thing started, Silly but it's true. Thinkin' of a sweet romance, G Beginning in a queue. C G Am/E Came the sun the ice was melting, Dm Em No more sheltering now. Am Nice to think that that umbrella Em Am Led me to a vow.
