(Verse)

[Em]
C'mon pack your bags

[A]
Clear the floor

[D] [G] [G/F#] [Em]
Let's step out through the open door

A7 D DSus D

Leave a note that says goodbye


verse:

Build a new house

down by the sea

Get to the place you were mean't to be

You'll know it when you smile


verse:

Up at the window

search in the the sky

Looking for the rainbow

And don't ask why

I wanna see the rainbow come

Hey!


verse:

We'll be leaving on all sides, hmmm

When the rainbow comes

La la la la la la la etc.


(Chorus)

[Em]
Mr. Postman look and see

[G]
If there's a message in your bag for me

[A]
Could be a bomb or it could be a letter

[Em]
It don't matter it can only get better

[Em]
Mr. Postman look and see

[G]
If there's a message in your bag for me

[A]
You know it's been such a long long time

[Em]
Since I could laugh at this world of mine


verse:

Slippin' and slidin' around in your head

It's be-bop-a-lula then baby your dead

So c'mon make a bright new day

I need a prayer here

Need a blessing

Cast an eye back as you run

Turn around boy!

See the rainbow come


verse:

You'll be leaving on all sides

When the rainbow comes

When the rainbow comes

See the world from all sides

When the rainbow comes

When the rainbow comes


Hey!
