       A           E
Yesterday I was a young man
 C                A
Searching for my way
      A            E
Not knowing what I wanted
        C                G    A
Living life from day to day, yeah

Chorus:
       D        F
Till she came along
           G                     F#m
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
B
Feels like coloured rain
Tastes like coloured rain
                     E    F#        B
Bring down coloured rain, rain, oh yeah

I can feel those colour changes
Going through my mind
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes, yeah

Chorus:
Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like coloured rain, baby
Tastes like coloured rain
Bring down coloured rain, rain
Bring it on down, baby

I can feel those colour changes
Going through my mind
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes, yeah

Chorus:
Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like coloured rain, baby
Don't you know it feels like coloured rain
Don't you know, baby
It's not all the time
That the sun won't shine, baby, yeah

B
If you love me and you want me
To be your man, yeah, yeah
There's one thing, baby
Every woman should understand, hmmm
Without rain, babe
Our love will never come to be
And if you want my sunshine
You've got to accept my hail, rain, and snow

There's one thing, baby
That I want you to do for me, yeah
I want you to take our body close, babe
I want you to work that up I know, yeah
Take that coloured rain, yeah
Bring it on down, yeah, bring it on down, yeah
Bring it on down, yeah, bring it on down, yeah
Bring it on down, yeah, bring it on down, yeah
Bring down coloured rain, rain, rain
Bring down coloured rain
