The lyric for this song is hilarious and could inspire a 'Spinal Tapesque' theme
gig, with the gnomes, elves, butterflys and all.

(Thunder clap)

 A       G        D        A
A misty shadow spread its wings
     D               A
And covered all the ground
     A     G         D       A
And even though the sun was out
     D                 A
The rain came pouring down

    A                 D
And all the light had disappeared
     G            A
And faded in the gloom
 A                     D
There was no hope, no reasoning
      G            A
This rainy day in June

     A     G          D      A
The eagle spread its mighty wings
     D                A
And pounced upon its pray
     A       G         D         A
And all the skies, so brilliant blue
        G          A
Turned suddenly to grey

     A                    D
The cherished things are perishing
     G               A
And buried in their tomb
A                    G
There is no hope, no reasoning
      D            A
This rainy day in June


    D7                  A
And everybody felt the rain (Thunder)
D7                  A
Everybody felt the rain
D7                  A
Everybody felt the rain
D7                  A
Everybody felt the rain

    A      G             D        A
The demon stretched its crinkled hand
     D                A
And snatched a butterfly
    A          G           D          A
The elves and gnomes were hunched in fear
     D            A
Too terrified to cry

    A              D
The reckoning was beckoning
         G               A
They're living to their doom
     A                D
There was no hope, no reasoning
     G             A
This rainy day in June

  D7                    A
And everybody felt the rain
 D7                 A
Everybody felt the rain
 D7                 A
Everybody felt the rain
 D7                 A
Everybody felt the rain

 (Continue and fade)
