Verse 1
5        6      7    -8    8 8    -5          6 7    7   -8
Why are there so many songs a-bout rainbows,
6          5      6   -7    7 6    -6
And what's on the o-ther side?
5    6           7    -8 8       6   -5 6  7 7 -8
Rainbows are vi-sions but on-ly illusions,
6         5   6       -7       -7 7     6  -6
And rainbows have no-thing to hide.

 
Refrain
-6      8     -6       8    -6      8        -6      8    -6 8    -6
So we've been told and some choose to be-lieve it.
-7 -7        -7         -8       -7    6   -7
I- know they're wrong, wait and see.
-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.

Verse 2
5          6    7   -8 8    8        -5     6      7      7       7 -8
Who said that ev'ry wish would be heard and answered
6             5      6    -7    7 6      -6
When wished on the morning star
5        6 7       -8       8    8     6      -5  6         7   7  -8
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it
6           5   6     7     6  -6
Look what it's done so far
 
Refrain
-6          8  -6 8 -6     8    -6        8  -6   8  -6
What's so amazing that keeps us star-gazing
-7       -7   -7 -7   -8      -7   6       -7
And what do we think we might see
-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.
 
Bridge
-8  7  -8   8 -8   7    6
All of us under its spell.
6       -6      -7   7    6  -6 7  -8  8
We know that it's probably ma-gic.

 
Verse 3

5          6     7      -8    8 8       6    -5      6      7       7 -8
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.
