The Rainbow Connection - D 1978

3/4 D G D G D Bm Em A D Why are there so many songs about rainbows, and what’s on the Bm G A D Bm Em A other side. Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and D Bm G / / / rainbows have nothing to hide. So we’ve been told, and some / / F♯m / / / choose to believe it. I know they’re wrong, wait and see.

Em A F♯m B7 Chorus: Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection, the Em A7 D G D G lovers, the dreamers and me.

D Bm Em A Who said that every wish would be heard and answered, when D Bm G A D Bm wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that, and Em A D Bm G / / someone believed it. Look what it’s done so far. What’s so / / / F♯m / amazing that keeps us stargazing, and what do we think we might / / see?

Em A F♯m B7 Chorus: Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection, the Em A7 D A Bm D G lovers, the dreamers and me. All of us under its spell, we know D G A7 that it’s probably magic.

Rainbow Connection (cont.)

D Bm Em A D Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I’ve Bm G A D Bm Em heard them calling my name. Is this the sweet sound that call the A D Bm G / / young sailors? The voice might be one and the same. I’ve heard it / / / F#m / / / too many times to ignore it, it’s something I’m s’posed to be.

Em A F♯m B7 Chorus: Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection, the Em A7 D A Bm D / lovers, the dreamers and me. La da da dee, da da do, la G A7 D / la da da da de da do.
