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

This one can be difficult to catch because of the constant A pedal 
from bass (with the exception of the chorus)...

Right piano chords are :

verse 1

C       G      D          A          C               A
A misty shadow spread its wings  And covered all the ground 
C        G          D       A       C              A
And even though the sun was out The rain came pouring down 
Am7          D/F#                  F               A
And all the light had disappeared And faded in the gloom 
Am7             D/F#               F           A                      
There was no hope, no reasoning This rainy day in June 


verse 2

The eagle spread its mighty wings And pounced upon its pray 
And all the skies, so brilliant blue Turned suddenly to grey 
The cherished things are perishing And buried in their tomb 
There is no hope, no reasoning This rainy day in June 

chorus

 D(7)                 A7   D(7)            A7
