The Rainbow Connection

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.

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.

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.
