[Verse 1]
Bm F#/B Bm7 Bm7/E
Long a - go a young man sits,
Amaj7 Dmaj7
And plays his waiting game,
C#m G#/C# C#m7 F#m7
But things are not the same, it seems,
Bm7 Bm7/E
As in such tender dreams,
Bm F#/B Bm7 Bm7/E Amaj7 Dmaj7
Slowly passing sailing ships and Sunday after - noon,
C#m G#/C# C#m7 F#m7
Like people on the moon, I see,
Bm7 Bm7/E
Are things not meant to be?
[Chorus]
Amaj9 Bm11/E
Where do those golden rainbows end?
Amaj9 Bm11/E
Why is this song so sad?
Amaj9 Bm11/E
Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed,
(Why is this song so sad?)
Amaj9 Bm11/E Amaj7
My friend, ...loving the love I love to...
[Verse 2]
Bm F#/B Bm7 Bm7/E
Love is just a word I've heard,
Amaj7 Dmaj7
When things are being said,
C#m G#/C# C#m7 F#m7
Stories my poor head has told me...
Bm7 Bm7/E
Cannot stand the cold,
Bm F#/B Bm7 Bm7/E
And in bet - ween what might have been,
Amaj7 Dmaj7
And what has come to pass,
C#m G#/C# C#m7 F#m7
A misbe - gotten guess, a - las,
Bm7 Bm7/E
And bits of broken glass
[Chorus]
Amaj9 Bm11/E
Where do those golden rainbows end?
Amaj9 Bm11/E
Why is this song I sing so sad?
(Where do the rainbows end-----?)
Amaj9 Bm11/E
Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed, my friend,
Amaj9 Bm11/E
Loving the love...
(Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed!)
Amaj9 Bm11/E
I love to love... to love, ...to love,
(To love... to love, ...to love!)
Amaj9 Bm11/E
Woh, no, no, no, now!
[Coda]
Amaj9 Bm11/E Amaj9 Bm11/E Amaj7
