Introduction:
A7 G D A7 D G D A7 D
Yesterday I heard the rain, whispering your name
Em7(9) Em7 G/B A7 Em7 A7
Asking where you'd gone
G Cº Em7 G B7 A7
It fell softly from the clouds on the silent crowds
G D A7 D D7M D7
As I wandered on
Cº G G/F# B7 Cº Em B7 Em7 Em6
Out of doorways, black umbrellas came to pursue me
C#7 Cº C#7
Faceless people as they passed
Cº F#m F#m7M Eº Em7 A7
Were looking through me no one knew me
A7 G D A7 D G D A7 D
Yesterday I shut my eyes, face-up to the skies
Em7(9) Em7 G/B A7 Em7 A7
Drinkin' in the rain
G Cº Em7 G B7 A7
But your image still was there, floating in the air
Gº G/B A7 D7M
Brighter than a flame.

Yesterday I saw a city

Full of shadows, without pity

And I heard the steady rain whispering your name

Whispering your name
