VERSE1
D             Bm      Em             A
Why are there so many songs about rainbows 
    D             Bm    G
and what's on the other side?
D            Bm           Em      A
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, 
    D             Bm          G
and rainbows have nothing to hide

CHORUS
G7M
  So we've been told and some choose to believe it
F#m
 I know they're wrong, wait and see
Em            A            F#m          B7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
    Em           A           D9...
The lovers, the dreamers and me

INTERLUDE
...A  D9  A

VERSE2
D             Bm               Em            A
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered 
     D             Bm      G
when wished on the morning star?
D         Bm                 Em          A
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
     D             Bm       G
And look what it's done so far

CHORUS
G7M
 What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
    F#m
and what do we think we might see?
Em            A            F#m         B7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
    Em          A            D9...
The lovers, the dreamers and me

BRIDGE
...A9/C#     Bm         A        G             F#m7#5    A Bb7
      All of us under its spell, we know that it's probably magic

VERSE3
Eb            C#m             Fm              Bb
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
    Eb              C#m       Ab
Yes I've heard them calling my name
Eb             C#m           Fm                Bb
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
    Eb             C#m          Ab
The voice might be one and the same

CHORUS
Ab7M
  I've heard it too many times to ignore it
     Gm
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Fm            Bb           Gm          C7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
    Fm          Bb           Eb...
The lovers, the dreamers and me

OUTRO
...Bb         C#m       Bb
   Laa di daa dii di dallaa
Ab           Bb           Eb7M
Laa dii daa, laa dii daa, oooh.
