Yesterday I Heard the Rain
Words & Music by Gene Lees & Armando ManzaneroRecorded by Tony Bennett, 1968
A7 G D A7 D G D A7 D
Yes - ter - day I heard the rain, whis - per - ing your name,
Em7/9 Em7 G/B A7 Em7 A7
Ask - ing where you'd gone;
G Cdim Em7 G B7 A7
It fell soft - ly from the clouds on the si - lent crowds,
G D A7 D DM7 D7
As I wan - dered on.
Cdim G G/F# B7 Cdim Em B+ Em7 Em6
Out of door - ways, black umbrellas came to pursue me,
C#7 Cdim(IV) C#7
Faceless people as they passed
Cdim F#m F#m+7 Edim Em7 A7
Were looking through me -- no one knew me.
A7 G D A7 D G D A7 D
Yes - ter - day I shut my eyes, face-up to the skies,
Em7/9 Em7 G/B A7 Em7 A7
Drinkin' in the rain;
G Cdim Em7 G B7 A7
But your im - age still was there, float - ing in the air,
Gdim G/B A7+5 DM7
Bright - er than a flame.
D7 G G/F# C#m7-5 F# F#7
Yes - ter - day I saw a cit - y,
Edim Bm Bm/E E7/9 E7
Full of sha - dows, with - out pit - y,
Edim D9 D DM7 D+5 G6 G5 G/B A7 A7+5
And I heard the stead - y rain whis - per - ing your name,
D9 D DM7 D
Whis - per - ing your name.
