Intro:


A F#m Bm E
A F#m Bm E

Verse 1:

A              F#m
Why are there so many
Bm             E
songs about rainbows?
     A             F#m    Bm   E
And what's on the other side?
A              F#m
Rainbows are visions,
Bm         E
but only illusions.
A               F#m       Bm    E
Rainbows have nothing to hide.

Pre-Chorus 1:

Dmaj7
So we've been told,
Dmaj7
and some choose to believe it,
C#m7
I know they're wrong, wait and see.

Chorus 1:

Bm             E
Someday we'll find it
       A        F#m
the rainbow connection
Bm                 E
The lovers, the dreamers,
     A   D  A  E
and me

Verse 2:

A               F#m
Who says that every wish
     Bm                 E
must be heard and answered
       A           F#m      D    E
When wished on the morning star?
A               F#m                Bm
Oh, somebody thought of that and someone
    E
believed it
A                 F#m       Bm      E
And look what it's done so far, so far.

Pre-Chorus 2:

    Dmaj7
Say what's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
    G#m            C#m7
And what do they think
 G#m
we might see?

Chorus 2:

     Bm             E
Oh, someday we'll find it
       A        F#m
the rainbow connection
Bm                 E
The lovers, the dreamers,
     A
and me

Bridge:

E      A
Oh, oh woh-oo-woh
D         A         F#m
All of us under its spell
Bm                           F
Who know that it's probably magic

Verse 3:

Bb                 Gm
Well, have you been half-asleep?
     Cm                 F
And have you heard the voices?
        Bb                Gm      Cm       F
Well, I've heard them calling my name - sing it again
  Bb             Gm                Cm
Say is this the sweet sound that calls
            F
the young sailors?
Bb                 Gm         Cm    F
The voice might be one and the same

Pre-Chorus 3:

Ebmaj7
Well, I've heard it too many
Ebmaj7
times to ignore it,
Dm7
It's something that
N.C.
I hold to be and believe

Chorus 3:

Cm             F
Someday we'll find it,
      Bb        Gm
the rainbow connection,
      Cm          F
The lovers, the dreamers,
    Bb  Eb  Bb F
and me

Chorus:

     Cm             F
Oh, someday we'll find it
       Bb       Gm
the rainbow connection
Cm           N.C.
The lovers - are all of y'all
F              F7
the dreamer - who is the dreamer?
                     Bb Eb Bb Gb
Well, the dreamer is me

(Spoken)
