1. Why are there so many songs about rainbows,

               G               Em     C       - D

    and what's on the other side ?

       G                 Em               C      D

    Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,

            G                     Em            C

    and rainbows have nothing to hide.

     C

    So we've been told and some choose to believe it,

  Bm                                                      - E

    I know they're wrong, wait and see.

      C                      D             Bm               E

    Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

           C                  D                   G

    the lovers, the dreamers, and me.

2. Who said that every wish will be heard and answered

              G                Em          C    - D

    and wished on a morning star ?

      G                Em                          C                D

    Somebody thought of that, and someone believed him.

      G                 Em        C

    look what it's done so far.

        C

    What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing ?

       Bm                                              - E

    What do we think we might see ?

      C                     D             Bm                E

    Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

           C                 D                  G

    the lovers, the dreamers and me.

3. Have you been half-asleep and have you heard voices?

      A                     F#m            D       - E

    I've heard them calling my name.

            A                      F#m                     D                         E

    And are these the sweet sounds that called the young sailors?

    A                    F#m              D

    I think they’re one and the same.

      D

    I've heard it too many times to ignore it,

          C#m                                                    - F#

    it's something that I'm supposed to be.

       D                   E             C#m                F#

    Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

           D                  E                 A

    the lovers, the dreamers and me.
