G Em Am7 D
Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
Gm7 Em Am7 D
And what's on the other side?
G Em Am7 D
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
Gm7 Em Am7 D
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
Cm7
So we've been told, and some choose to believe it;
Bm F#m7 B7
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Am7 D Bm7-5 E7
Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection --
Am7 D G
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
G Em Am7 D
Who said that ev'ry wish would be heard and answered
Gm7 Em Am7 D
When wished on the morning star?
G Em Am7 D
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it --
Gm7 Em Am7 D
Look what it's done so far.
Cm7
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing,
Bm F#m7 B7
And what do we think we might see?
Am7 D Bm7-5 E7
Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection --
Am7 D G
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Bridge:
Bm7 Em7 G
All of us under its spell;
C G Am7 D+
We know that it's probably ma - gic
G Em Am7 D
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
Gm7 Em Am7 D
I've heard them calling my name.
G Em Am7 D
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
Gm7 Em Am7 D
The voice might be one and the same.
Cm7
I've heard it too many times to ignore it --
Bm F#m7 B7
It's something that I'm s'posed to be.
Am7 D Bm7-5 E7
Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection --
Am7 D G
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
