Intro: D5 - G(high) - D5 - G(high) - D5 - G(high) - D5 - G(High)

Verse 1: 

D5             B5       G(High)     A5
Why are there so many songs about rainbows?
D5             B5     G5     A5 
What's on the other side?
D5            B5          G(High) A5
Rainbows are visions but only illusions
D5                 B5          G5     G5
And rainbows have nothing to hide

G5             G5             G5           G5
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
F#5             F#5              F#5         F#5
I know they're wrong wait and see


Chorus:

E5             A5           F#5         B5
Someday we'll find it the rainbow connection
  G5             A5            D5    D5
The lover's the dreamers and me
D5     D5

Verse 2:

They said that every wish would be heard and answered 
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that and someone believe it
But look what it's done so far

What so amazing that keeps us stargazing? 
What do we think we might see?


Chorus:

E5             A5           F#5         B5
Someday we'll find it the rainbow connection
  G5             A5            
The lover's the dreamers and me


Bridge (to half-step pitch shift):

D5    A5         B5         D5
     All of us under its spell 
   G5              A5        Bb5 B5
we know that it's probably magic...


[pitch shifts a half-step up from here until the end]

Verse 3: 

Eb5            C5       Ab(High)     Bb5
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices
Eb5            C5     Ab5     Bb5 
I hear them calling my name
Eb5            C5       Ab(High)     Bb5
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
Eb5            C5     Ab5      Ab5 
Could it be one at the same?

Ab5         Ab5        Ab5       Ab5
I heard it too many times to ignore it
G5       G5       G5       G5
Something that I'm supposed to be


Chorus:

F5             Bb5            G5         C5
Someday we'll find it the rainbow connection
  Ab5             Bb5
The lover's the dreamers and me


Outro:

Eb5    Bb5      C5      Eb5
