[Bb] _ [Bm] that day in May _ [A] when I saw you walking in the [Em] rain. _ _ _
I know not what [Bm] it was nor why, _ for [D] usually I'm quite [Em] shy.
I _ [D] _ _ [B] asked you your name.
[Bm] _
You smiled and [Em] said, _ Lorraine. _
_ [D] _ [Bm] I asked if I could share your umbrella.
_ [A] You smiled and said, _ [E] what a cheeky little fella.
