         D 
When you walk the streets you'll have no cares 
       A 
If you walk the lines and not the squares 
       D 
As you go through life make this your goal 
A                D 
Watch the donut, not the hole

     D 
It's written on the rainbow 
   G               D 
In letters made of gold 
G              D 
Written on the rainbow 
                    A 
There's wisdom to behold 
   D 
My friend the little sparrow 
     G               D 
Flew close enough to see 
G            D 
Written on a rainbow 
   A           D 
Is this philosophy 

         D 
When you walk the streets you'll have no cares 
       A 
If you walk the lines and not the squares 
       D 
As you go through life make this your goal 
A                D 
Watch the donut, not the hole

In letters made of gold 
G              D 
Written on the rainbow 
                    A 
There's wisdom to behold 
   D 
My friend the little sparrow 
 G                D 
Agrees it must be so 
G             D 
Little angels wrote it 
   A                    D 
So folks on earth would know 

         D 
When you walk the streets you'll have no cares 
       A 
If you walk the lines and not the squares 
       D 
As you go through life make this your goal 
A                D 
Watch the donut, not the hole
