I’m always chasing rainbows       (Listen to midi)

 

    G - E - A - A7 - D - G

 

      - - - -  G              D                       G

    At the end of the rainbow there's happiness 

                                D D7         G

    and to find it how often I've tried.

                              D                G

    But my life is a race, just a wild goose chase,

                     D                A                 D     - D7

    and my dreams have all been denied !

 

       G                                      C                E                           A

    Why have I always been a failure?  What can the reason be?

         D                                  G             A                A7         D    - D7

    I wonder if the world's to blame?  I wonder if it could be me?

 

  G                                             C    G       D       G        D   - D7

I'm always chasing rainbows, watching clouds drifting by,

 E                                    Am                         A                    D   - D7

my schemes are just like all of my dreams, ending in the sky.

  G                                              G7

Some fellows look and find the sunshine,

C

 I always look and find the rain!

  E                                             E7

Some fellows make a winning sometime, 

Am                                D         D7

  I never even make a gain. Believe me . . . 

 G                                   E

I'm always chasing rainbows

 Am                             A           - D      G      

waiting to find a little blue bird       in vain!

 

   +  D       + repeat CHORUS
