Verse 1: 
          G 
        The scene was a small roadside cafe 
                                        D 
        The waitress was sweeping the floor 
 
        Two truck drivers drinking their coffee 
                                  G  
        And two Okie kids by the door 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
        \"How much are them candies?\" they asked her 
                                        D 
        \"How much have you got?\" she replied 
 
        \"We've only a penny between us\" 
                                      G  
        \"Them's two for a penny\" she lied 
 
 
Chorus: 
                  C                         G 
        And the daylight grew heavy with thunder 
                  D                         G 
        With the smell of the rains on the wind 
          C                   G   
        Ain't it just like a human 
          D                       G  
        Here comes that rainbow again

        Here comes that rainbow again
