D5  A5  D5  A5

VERSE1
D5             B5      E5             A5
Why are there so many songs about rainbows 
    D5             B5    G5
and what's on the other side?
D5            B5           E5      A5
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, 
    D5             B5          G5
and rainbows have nothing to hide

CHORUS
G5
  So we've been told and some choose to believe it
F#5
 I know they're wrong, wait and see
E5            A5            F#5          B5
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
    E5           A5           D9...
The lovers, the dreamers and me

INTERLUDE
...A5  D5  A5

VERSE2
D5             B5               E5            A5
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered 
     D5             B5      G5
when wished on the morning star?
D5         B5                 E5          A5
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
     D5             B5       G5
And look what it's done so far

CHORUS
G5
 What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
    F#5
and what do we think we might see?
E5            A5            F#5         B5
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
    E5          A5            D9...
The lovers, the dreamers and me

BRIDGE
...A5     B5         A5        G5             F#m7#5    A5 Bb5
      All of us under its spell, we know that it's probably magic

VERSE3
Eb5            C#5             F5              Bb5
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
    Eb5              C#5       Ab5
Yes I've heard them calling my name
Eb5             C#5           F5                Bb5
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
    Eb5             C#5          Ab5
The voice might be one and the same

CHORUS
Ab5
  I've heard it too many times to ignore it
     G5
It's something that I'm supposed to be
F5            Bb5           G5          C5
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
    F5          Bb5           Eb...
The lovers, the dreamers and me

OUTRO

   Laa di daa dii di dallaa
Ab5           Bb5           Eb5
Laa dii daa, laa dii daa, oooh.
