Intro: G5   B5 C5 C5 G5  D5  D5  G5
                      
             G5             G5
You used to dream yourself away each night
        
    B5               E5    A5
To places that you'd never been
        
    G5             E5
On wings made of wishes
         
       A5             D5 D5
That you whispered to yourself.
                   
           G5              B5
Back when every night the moon and you
            
       C5             C5             G5
Would sweep away to places That you knew
                        
                D5             G5
Where you would never get the blues
 
 B5         E5              B5
Well now, whiskey gives you wings
              
          E5      D5        G5
To carry each one of your dreams
 
 G5                     G5                        
And the moon does not belong to you
          
    C5  B5                E5                B5
But I believe that your heart Keeps young dreams
                      
                         E5             A5
 Well, I've been told To keep from ever growing old
     
       C5
And a heart that has been broken
               
          D5           D5
Will be stronger when it mends
                  
              G5               B5
Don't let the blues stop you singing

C5                            C5
Darlin', you've only got a broken wing

                G5           D5 D5
Hey, you just hang on to my rainbow

G5               C5
Hang on to my rainbow

G5               D5       G5
Hang on to my rainbow sleeves
