Intro: G+G  Bm7Bm7 C majorC C minorCm G+G D7sus4D7sus4 D7D7 G+G

       G+G       Gmaj7Gmaj7
You used to dream yourself away each night

  B7B7        E minor 7Em7  Am7Am7
To places that you'd never been

  G+G       E minorEm
On wings made of wishes

    Am7Am7       D7sus4D7sus4 D7D7
That you whispered to yourself.

      G+G       Bm7Bm7
Back when every night the moon and you

    C majorC       C minorCm       G+G
Would sweep away to places That you knew

        D7D7       G+G
Where you would never get the blues

 B7B7     E minor 7Em7       B7B7
Well now, whiskey gives you wings

     E minor 7Em7   D MajorD    G+G
To carry each one of your dreams

 G+G           Gmaj7Gmaj7
And the moon does not belong to you

  C majorC B7B7        E minor 7Em7        B7B7
But I believe that your heart Keeps young dreams

             E minor 7Em7       A7A7
 Well, I've been told To keep from ever growing old

    C majorC
And a heart that has been broken

     D7sus4D7sus4      D7D7
Will be stronger when it mends

       G+G        Bm7Bm7
Don't let the blues stop you singing

C majorC              C minorCm
Darlin', you've only got a broken wing

        G+G      D7sus4D7sus4 D7D7
Hey, you just hang on to my rainbow

G+G        C majorC
Hang on to my rainbow

G+G        D7D7    G+G
