[G] Why are there [Em] so many [Am] songs about [D7] rainbows
And [G] what's on the [Em] other [Am] side [D7]

[Am] Someday we'll [D7] find it
the [Bm7] rainbow con[E7]nection
The [Am] lovers the [D7] dreamers and
[G] me [Gsus4] [G] [Gsus4]
[G] Who said that [Em] ev'ry wish, would [Am] be heard and [D7] answered
When [G] wished on the [Em] morning [Am] star [D7]
[G] Somebody [Em] thought of that and [Am] someone be- [D7] lieved it
[G] Look what it's [Em] done so [C] far [C]

We [C] know that it's [G] probably [Am] ma- [D7] gic
[G] Have you been [Em] half asleep and [Am] have you heard [D7] voices
[G] I've heard them [Em] calling my [Am] name [D7]
[G] Is this the [Em] sweet sound that [Am] calls the young [D7] sailors
The [G] voice might be [Em] one and the [C] same [C]
| [Cmaj7] I've heard it | too many | times to i- | gnore it
It's | [F#m] something that | I'm s'posed to | be | [F#m]
