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           Bm5-/7       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           Bm5-/7       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           Bm5-/7       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
