 Yesterday I heard the rain
-5   5 5   -4    5
 Whispering your name
 5-4   -4     4    -4
 Asking where you’d gone

 4 -4 -5   5 5    -4   5
 It fell softly from the clouds
-5   5 5   -4    5
 On the silent crowds
 5 -4 5 (-4)  -4
 As I wandered on

 4  -4  6  -5    5    -4 5  -4
 Out of doorways black umbrellas
-4    5 -5 5   -4
 Came to pursue me
-4   6   -5  5   5 -4    5
 Faceless people as they passed
-4   -5  5   -4       4
 Were looking through me
 5  5  -4    4
 No one knew me

 4 -4 -5   5 5    -4   5
 Yesterday I shut my eyes
-5   5 5   -4    5
 Face up to the skies
 5-4   -4     4    -4
 Drinking in the rain

-5  -5   -5 5    5    -4   5
 But your i-mage still was there
-5   5    5 -4   5
 Floating in the air
 6   -5  -5    5-5
 Brighter than a flame

 5 -4- 5  -4 6  -5-5 5
 Yesterday I saw a city
 6    6  6 -5    6   6   6-5
 Full of shadows without pity
 6   6 6    -5  -5   5 -5
 And I heard the steady rain
 6   6  6  -6    6 -5
 Whispering your na-~-me
