G C G Em C D
July skies ride on humid highs, Rain is in the air
G C G Em C D
Like butterflies, time flutters by. I wish you were here
G C G Em C D
Dusty, green summer valleys seem to wait for the rain
G C G Em C D
Shadows slide under cloudy skies… My mind flies home again
C D G Em C G F D
And thunder rolls like hills below, with mallets on anvils of fleece
C D G Em C D D7
And tucked under covers by sweet nature's mother, the sun pretends to sleep
G C D G C D
On a beautiful cloudy day. When the summertime showers are beckoned this way
G C D Em C G Bm
On a beautiful cloudy day. Remember the wishes, recall the ways
C D G
On a beautiful cloudy day
Em Bm C D G
Off in the distance, the cause meets resistance And the clash is felt in the wind
Em Bm
Oh, the hill country sky breathes a still, sultry sigh
C D D7
And a child wanders homeward again
G C G Em C D
Wind blown, the leaves in the breeze have flown far since their first glimpse of light
G C G Em C D
When suntanned and barefoot the days began warm 'neath a morning sky
C D G Em C G F D
And you and I were eye to eye And wrestled in the sun
C D G Em C D D7
With Koolaide moustaches and knees behind patches… All the things we done
G C D G C D
On a beautiful cloudy day. When the summertime showers are destined to stay
G C D Em C G Bm
On a beautiful cloudy day. Remember the wishes and recall the ways
C D G
On a beautiful cloudy day
C D G Em C G F D
When you and I were eye to eye And wrestled in the sun
C D G Em C D D7
With Koolaide moustaches and knees behind patches… All the things we done
G C D G C D
On a beautiful cloudy day, on a beautiful cloudy day
Em C G Bm C D G
Remember the wishes, recall the ways on a beautiful cloudy day
Em C G Bm C D G
Remember the wishes, recall the ways on a beautiful cloudy day
Em C G Bm C D G
