Verse 1:
The scene w[G]as a small roadside café
The waitress was sweeping the floor[D]
Two truck drivers drinking their coffee
And two Okie kids by the door[G]
Verse 2
'How much are them candies?' they asked her
'How much have you got?' she replied[D]
'We've only a penny between us'
'Them's two for a penny' she lied[G]
Chorus
And the daylight grew heavy w[C]ith thunder[G]
With the smell o[D]f the rains on the wind[G]
Ai[C]n't it just like a human[G]
Here [D]comes that rainbow again[G]
Verse three: (A tone higher)
One truck driv[A]er called to the waitress
After the kids went outside[E]
'Them candies ain't two for a penny'
'So what's it to you?' she replied[A]

In silence they f[A]inished their coffee
And got up and nodded goodbye[D]

'So w[E]hat's it to you?' they replied[A]
Chorus bis:
And the daylight was heavy wi[D]th thunder[A]
With the smell of t[E]he rains on the wind [A]
Ain[D]'t it just like a human[A]
Her[E]e comes that rainbow again[A]
Ain[D]'t it just like a human [A]
Her[E]e comes that rainbow again. [A]
