CAPO: 3rd Fret
NC
We are riding on a rainbow, we are flying free,
We are riding on a rainbow, yes, you and me
There is a Cplace I Flove in CAfrica, that they Amcall the Dmrainbow Gland,
GIt is a place to grow and Clive as Fone, in a Dmbrotherhood of Gman,
There is a Clight that Fcomes from CAfrica, and it’s Amshining Dmround the Gworld,
Let all the Gcolours speak of Cpride and Fjoy, in a Dmvoice that Gmust be Cheard....
CWe are riding on a Frainbow, we are flying Cfree,
We are riding on a Grainbow, yes, you and Cme.
There is a Cheart I Fhear in CAfrica, and it's Ambeating Dmlike a Gdrum,
GLet everyone get up and Cto the Fstars, we Dmwill go marching Gon,
I had a Cdream I Fwas in CAfrica, I was Amsoaring Dmlike a Gbird,
And then a Gmillion voices Call aFround, were Dmsinging Gto the Cworld....
CThat we are riding on a Frainbow, we are flying Cfree,
We are riding on a Grainbow, yes, you and Cme.
CWe are together on a Frainbow, we are flying Cfree,
We are forever on a Grainbow, yes, you and Cme.
CLala lala la Flalala, lala lala Claa,
Lala lala la la Glala, la lalaClaa
CLala lala la Flalala, lala lala Claa,
Lala lala la la Glala, la lalaClaa
CYes we are riding on a Frainbow, we are flying Cfree,
We are riding on a Grainbow, yes, you and Cme.
CWe are together on a Frainbow, we are flying Cfree,
We are forever on a Grainbow, yes, you and Cme.
