Bus Stop The Hollies
This hit was written by the great song writer Graham Gouldman and made famous by The Hollies.
I wrote an alternate Intro and Outro to make the song a little more interesting (the
Intro and Outro are also included). Also, you will see that I merely supplied the chords
along with the lyrics instead of tabbing them. Enjoy.
Tuning: EADGBE
Time signature: 4/4
r = rest (listen for duration)
*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that Iā??ve made an attempt to strategically space the notes
and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate durations.

VERSE 1
[Am]Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella.
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella.[G]
[C]All that [G]summer [Am/E]we enjoyed it,
[Dm]Wind and rain and [Em]shine.
[Am]That umbrella, we employed it. By August, [Em]she was [Am]mine.
CHORUS
[C/G]Every morning [B7]I would see her
[Em]Waiting [D]at the [C]stop,
Sometimes she'd [Am]shopped and she would
(small letters as single notes)
B7 e/Em d/Em c/Em b/Em
Show me what she bought.
[C/G]Other people [B7]stared as if we
[Em]Were both [D]quite [C]insane.
Someday my [Am]name and hers are
[B7]Going to be the [Em]same.
VERSE 2
[Am]That's the way the whole thing started,
Silly but it's true.
Thinkin' of a sweet romance,
Beginning in a queue.[G]
[C]Came the [G]sun the [Am/E]ice was melting,
[Dm]No more sheltering [Em]now.
[Am]Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me [Em]to a [Am]vow.
