The Hollies are a well-respected British beat and rock and roll band that formed in the early 60s. Initially they had a squeaky-clean image and were famous for their rich vocal harmonies, rivaling those of The Beach Boys. Between 1964 and 1969, only two Hollies songs failed to reach the UK Top 10. Their most famous member was Graham Nash, who left in 1968 to form the folk supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash. Two of the core members, drummer Bobby Elliott and lead guitarist Tony Hicks, still perform with The Hollies into the new millennium.

AmGAmGAmG Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say, please share my AmG umbrell...A. AmGAmGAmG Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows, under my
Am umbrella.
[Verse 2] CGAmDmEm All that summer we enjoyed it, wind and rain and shine. AmGAmGAmGAm That um..brella, we em..ployed it, by August, she was mine.
[Chorus]
CB7EmC Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop.. AmB7 sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she'd EmDCB bought. CB7EmDC Other people stared as if we were both quite insane, AmB7Em someday my name and hers are going to be the same.
[Verse 3]
AmGAmGAmG That's the way the whole thing started, silly but it's AmG true. AmGAmGAmGAm Thinking of a sweet romance beginning in a queue. AmGAmGAmGAm Came the sun the ice was melting, no more sheltering now. AmGAmGAmGAm Nice to think that that umbrella led me to a vow.
