C D
I put on my raincoat to make it rain
Em D
and sure enough the skies opened up again
C D
I dreamed of you as I walked to the shops,
Bm Em
you were dancing with the wallies on Top of the Pops
C C/B D

C C/B D

C D

Bm Em

Bm

Em

Am
robin hood and his merry men
D
are never never never coming back again
