"Bus Stop"

(Graham Gouldman)

Intro [2X; bass plays eighth notes as indicated]

(Am) (G/B)

v v v v v v v v

Verse 1:

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say

Please share my umbrella

Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows

Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it

Wind and rain and shine

That umbrella, we employed it

By August, she was mine

Chorus:

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop

Am/C B7 Em /D /C /B

Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought

Other people stared as if we were both quite insane

Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Verse 2:

That's the way the whole thing started

Silly but it's true

Thinkin' 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
