I got it by slightly simplifying the piano sheet music, and putting it in a better key (G). Note that my version also doesn't modulate a half-step up at the end. (Do _you_ want to play in A flat?)

This is a simplified version in a nice acoustic key, D. It's really in A or B, I'm not sure which. All of the chords move 1 half step up at the key change, but I left the end of the song in the same key to keep it simple. (You may just want to slide up your capo at that point...) D F#m Why are there so many G A Songs about rainbows D F#m And what's on the other side G A Rainbows are visions D F#m And only illusions G A And rainbows have nothing to hide Bm So we've been told and some choose to believe it A I know they're wrong, wait and see! G A Someday we'll find it A B7 The rainbow connection G A D The lovers, the dreamers, and me! Who said that every wish Would be heard and answered When wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that And someone believed it Look what it's done so far! What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing And what do we think we might see? Someday we'll find it The rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers, and me! A D A All of us under it's spell G D A (KEY CHANGE A -> Bb) We know that it's probably magic! Have you been half asleep And have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name! Is it the sweet sound That calls the young sailors The voice might be one and the same. I've heard it too many times to ignore it It's something that I'm supposed to be! Someday we'll find it The rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers, and me!
