D             Bm      G         A 
Why are there so many songs about rainbows, 
D                   Bm    G 
and what's on the other side? 
D             Bm      G         A 
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions. 
D                   Bm    G 
Rainbows have nothing to hide. 
G7M 
So we've been told and some choose to believe it. 
C#m 
I know they're wrong, wait and see 
Em7            A            F#m          B 
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, 
G               A             D 
The lovers, the dreamers, and me. 

D             Bm              G         A 
Who said that every wish woulb be heard and answered 
D                   Bm    G 
and wished on a morning star? 
D             Bm               G         A 
Somebody thought of that and someone believed him. 
D               Bm    G 
Look what it's done so far. 
G7M 
What's so amazing and keeps us stargazing? 
C#m 
What do we think we might see? 
Em7            A            F#m          B 
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, 
G               A             D 
The lovers, the dreamers and me. 

A/C#   Bm        Bm/A 
all us under its spell 

G7M             F#m      Ab  Bb 
we know that is probably magic 

Eb            Cm              Ab        Bb 
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? 
Eb               Cm    Ab 
I've heard them calling my name. 
Eb             Cm                 An             Bb 
Are these the sweet sounds that called the young sailors? 
Eb               Cm    Ab 
the voice might be one and the same. 
Ab7M 
I've heard it too many times to ignore it. 
Dm 
It's something that I'm supposed to be. 
Fm7           Bb            Gm       C 
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, 
Ab               Bb             Gm    C 
The lovers, the dreamers and me. 
Fm7           Bb            Gm       C 
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, 
Ab               Bb             Eb 
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
