The Rainbow Connection

Key: G

Introduction:

 G                         Em           Am7                 D 
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
           G7M                   Em         Am7         D 
And what's on the other side
 G                       Em                     Am7         D 
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
         G7M                     Em                 Am7         D 
And rainbows have nothing to hide
 C7M 
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(b5)             E7 
Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection
         Am7                   D                     G 
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
         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 magic
 G                         Em                           Am7                         D 
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices
 G7M                           Em               Am7         D 
I've heard them calling my name
 G                       Em                             Am7                         D 
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors
         G7M                       Em                   Am7         D 
The voice might be one and the same
 C7M 
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(b5)             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
           G7M                       Em             Am7         D 
When wished on the morning star
 G                     Em                                 Am7               D 
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it
 G7M                     Em           Am7     D 
Look what it's done so far
 C7M 
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
         Bm                 F#m7                       B7 
And what do we think we might see
 Am7                       D                     Bm7(b5)             E7 
Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection
 D   G  G/F#Em  Bm7 
La da   da   de da
 Am7           D7             G 
La la da da da de do
