A#                          D#         A# A#6
I looked up from my glass - into the sky
A#                            D#      A# A#6
There's no one in my comic - book to buy
F              F7               D#          A#
Calendar swung on the wall held by a rusty nail
D#               A#             F                  F7
Down came the strange rain and washed my thoughts away

    A#
So stop in the sky and tell me why
         D#
You're changing your colours before my eyes
 F
Yellow, blue, green and grey
                F7
Settled on the window pane
    A#
So stop in the sky and tell me why
         D#
You're changing your colours before my eyes
 F
Yellow, blue, green and grey
                F7
Settled on the window pane

Chorus:
F#                     C#
It made the rain that came seem strange
G#
Just like strange rain
F#                     C#
It made the rain that came seem strange
G#
Just like strange rain

Still I sit beside the fire and watched as it fell
Come in colours from above into my citadel
My eyes are all embroidered with the rainbow you have made
And now it seems as though it's just, just like strange rain

So stop in the sky and tell me why
You're changing your colours before my eyes
Yellow, blue, green and grey
Settled on the window pane
So stop in the sky and tell me why
You're changing your colours before my eyes
Yellow, blue, green and grey
Settled on the window pane

Chorus:
It made the rain that came seem strange
Just like strange rain
It made the rain that came seem strange
Just like strange rain

So stop in the sky and tell me why
You're changing your colours before my eyes
Yellow, blue, green and grey
Settled on the window pane.
So stop in the sky and tell me why
You're changing your colours before my eyes
Yellow, blue, green and grey
Settled on the window pane

Chorus:
It made the rain that came seem strange
Just like strange rain
It made the rain that came seem strange
Just like strange rain
Just like strange rain
Just like strange rain
Just like strange rain
Just like strange rain
Just like strange rain
Just like strange rain
Just like strange rain
