Didn't find the correct chords anywhere online, so I took 5 minutes to figure it 
out. Enjoy! Note: despite my best efforts to line the chords up with the words, 
the website seems to mess up the spacing when I post. Sorry...

Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream

Repeat this structure

Small-time Napoleon's shattered his knees
But he stays in the saddle for Rose
And all his disciples, they shave in the gutter
And they gather what's left of his clothes

What some men will do here for diamonds
What some men will do here for gold
They're wounded but they just keep on climbing
And sleep by the side of the road

Repeat bridge chords to end.
