A classic song from a band that had a stream of hits in the 60's.
Most of their songs were penned by Phillip Goodhand-Tait. However this was a Buzz
Cason/M.Gayden song. Their songs were big productions with lots of orchestration.
Although a
big success they were heavily criticised by the media for not playing their instruments
on some of their recordings, relying on session musicians and an orchestra. However I saw
them live in the late 60's and found them to be a good live band with plenty of energy
and some great guitar work by Rex Brayley with Steve Ellis adding a vocal sound which
still today takes some beating.
If any of the band, (Steve Ellis, Rex Brayley, Mike Jackson, Mo Bacon or Morgan Fisher)
get to see this tab please drop me an email - love to hear from you, and please correct
any mistakes I've made!!

Rainbow Valley
Recorded by The Love Affair

Intro
G
I'm headin' home again 'cause it seems I don't fit in

And the world ain't all I thought that it would be

From this hill I'm looking down upon that friendly town

There's a place I know that's paradise to me

Verse 1
    C          Am             F          G
The sun always shines down in my Rainbow Valley
        C                 Am           F          G
There's one that's always mine down in my Rainbow Valley
        G
You can love and share a dream beside that crystal stream
   F                 G               F   G
So meet me where the rainbow ends in our valley

Verse 2
C               Am              F          G
Bird's sweetest song comes from my Rainbow Valley
     C                   Am           F          G
They sing the whole year long down in my Rainbow Valley
    G
The flowers speak to me and say our love should be
    F                  G           F        G
And heaven knows sweet music flows from our valley

Verse 3
C          Am        F               G
I'll never leave I belong in Rainbow Valley
    C               Am              F                G
For life to love is free there's no wrong in Rainbow Valley
   G
If ever we can fly through the cotton candy sky
  F                  G            F      G
So meet me where the rainbow ends in our valley

Verse 4
    C          Am             F          G
The sun always shines down in my Rainbow Valley
        C                 Am           F          G
There's one that's always mine down in my Rainbow Valley
        G
You can love and share a dream beside that crystal stream
   F                 G            F      G
So meet me where the rainbow ends in our valley

There's a key change at the end but I'll let you sort that out!
