"How much are them candies?" they asked her D "How much have you got?" she replied "We've only a penny between us" G "Them's two for a penny" she liedC G And the daylight grew heavy with thunder D G With the smell of the rains on the wind C G Ain't it just like a human D G Here comes that rainbow againVerse 3:
