(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!
