Please don't step on my rainbow

It's only staying for a while

And it won't be too long

Until the day is on the run
G E7 Am E7
And night time will shutter its smile
Am E7 A A7 A
Please don't step on my rainbow
G Dm Am E7
It's only staying for a while
Am E7
And it won't be too long

Until the day is on the run

And night time will shutter its smile
Am E7 A A7 A
Please don't cough in my doorway
G Dm Am E7
Go if you're going, stay if you're staying

To lend me money for some wine

Then you won't have to catch your train

Please don't step on my rainbow

Can make your money look too thin

It's only 'cause this government's in power, oh
Am E7 A A7 A
Please don't talk on my phone now
G Dm Am E7
It seems silly but it's true
Am E7
That if you wear a heart
Am C
Which is political or art
G E7 Am E7
Then they might like to question you
Am E7 A A7 A
Please don't step on my rainbow
G Dm Am E7
It hardly ever comes around
Am E7
And I may have a writ
Am C
Because I didn't sign for it
G E7 Am E7
You know how people talk in a small town
Am E7 A A7 A
Please don't step on my rainbow
G Dm Am E7
It's only staying for a while
Am E7
And it won't be too long
Am C
Until the day is on the run
G E7 Am E7
And night time will shutter its smile
