Verse
D E G A
Billy and Nancy were truly in love
D E G A
First came to push, then came to shove
D E G A
Because those Detroit nights were long and grey
D E G A
They wanted to move out to the California wave
D E G A
All they ever really wanted to do
D E G A
To grow their hair out long like the pictures in the Rolling Stone
D E G A
So they decided to make a big plan
D E G A
Along with the money Billy stole from a hamburger stand
D E G A
Billy, at home, packed his favorite sweater
D E G A
When he opened that duffel bag, he found that precious letter
D E G A
It said "I love you Billy, by yourself you must go on
D E G A
Here, I packed you your favorite tie-die long johns
D E G A
I'll always love you, signed Nancy"
D E G A
Written on unicorn stationery, there was nothing about it too fancy

Could've made a rainbow out of my heart
G
Should've made a macrame christmas card
D
oh yeah
D A
Could've made a rainbow out of my heart
G
Should've made a macrame christmas card
D
oh yeah
[Verse 2]
D E G A
Nancy at home, tears running down her face
D E G A
The radio blasted, there had been a chase
D E G A
A snowbank had stopped that runaway car
D E G A
Another teenage youth had gone a little too far
[Chorus]
D A
Could've made a rainbow out of my heart
G
Should've made a macrame christmas card
D
oh yeah
D A
Could've made a rainbow out of my heart
G
Should've made a macrame christmas card
D
oh yeah
D A
Could've made a rainbow out of my heart
G
Should've made a macrame christmas card
D
oh yeah
D A
Could've made a rainbow out of my heart
G
Should've made a macrame christmas card
D
oh yeah
[Verse 3]

Somewhere near Duluth, Billy found the truth
D E G A
Blood and gasoline, mixed with carrot juice
D
oh yeah
