Verse 1
2       3     4    -4    5 5       2”     3    4    4   -4
Why are there so many songs a-bout rainbows,
3        2        3  -3    4 3    -3”
And what's on the o-ther side?
2        3       4    -4 5       3  2” 3    4 4 -4
Rainbows are vi-sions but on-ly illusions,
3       2  3      -3       -3 4     3 -3”
And rainbows have no-thing to hide.
 
Refrain
-3”      5     -3”       5    -3”      5        -3”      5    -3” 5    -3”
So we've been told and some choose to be-lieve it.
-3 -3        -3         -4       -3    3  -3
I- know they're wrong, wait and see.
2”  -3”          4     -3   4
Someday we'll find it,
-3”       3  -3      -4 -3 4
The rainbow connection,
3      2” 3      4       5   5      -4  4
The lo-vers, the dreamers and me.
 
Verse 2
2         3   4   -4 5    5        2”     3     4      4       4 -4
Who said that ev'ry wish would be heard and answered
3           2     3   -3    4 3     -3”
When wished on the morning star
2       3 4       -4       5    5     3     2”  3        4   4  -4
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it
3         2  3    4     3 -3”
Look what it's done so far
 
Refrain
-3”          5  -3” 5 -3”     5    -3”        5  -3”   5  -3”
What's so amazing that keeps us star-gazing
-3       -3   -3 -3   -4      -3   3      -3
And what do we think we might see
2”  -3”           4   -3   4
Someday we'll find it,
-3”       3  -3      -4 -3 4
The rainbow connection,
3      2” 3    4        5   5       -4   4
The lo-vers, the dreamers and me.
 
Bridge
-4  4  -4   5 -4   4    -2
All of us under its spell.
-2      -3”      -3   4    3 -3” 4  -4  5
We know that it's probably ma-gic.
 
Verse 3

Have you been half-asleep and have you heard voices
6       5        6     -7  7     6    -6
I've heard them calling my name
5    6     7   -8         8        6     -5    6     7      7 -8
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors
6        5         6    -7   7     7    6     -6
The voice might be one and the same
 
Refrain
-6        8   -6  8  -6 8      -6     8  -6  8   -6
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
-7    -7   -7       -7   -8        -7      6  -7
It's something that I'm s'posed to be
-5  -6          7     -7   7
Someday we'll find it,
-6       6   -7    -8 -7 7
The rainbow connection,
6      -5 6         7   8   8         -8  7
The lo-vers, the dreamers and me.
