[Intro]
D Em D Em
[Verse 1]
D             Bm7     Em7         A
Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
    D             Bm7   G       A
and what's on the other side?
D            Bm7          Em7    A
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions.
D             Bm7        G
Rainbows have nothing to hide.
Gmaj7
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
F#m7                           B7
I know they're wrong, wait and see
[Chorus]
Em7            A           F#m7       B7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
    Em7         A             D      Em D  A
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
[Verse 2]
D             Bm7          Em7          A
Who said that wishes would be heard and answered
     D           Bm7     G        A
when wished on a morning star?
D               Bm7         Em7       A
Someone thought of that and someone believed him.
D              Bm7     G
Look what it's done so far.
Em7                   Gmaj7
What's so amazing and keeps us stargazing?
F#m7                      B7
What do we think we might see?
[Chorus]
Em7            A           F#m7       B7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
    Em7         A             D
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
[Bridge]
A/C#   Bm7       D
all us under its spell
   G            D        A Bb
we know that is probably magic
[Verse 3]
Eb            Cm              Fm7            Bb
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
Eb              Cm         Ab      Bb
I've heard them calling my name.
Eb            Cm                Fm7              Bb
Are these the sweet sounds that called the young sailors?
    Gm7             Cm          Ab
the voice might be one and the same.
Fm7                    Ab
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
     Gm7                            C
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
[Chorus]
Fm7           Bb           Gm7       C7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
    Fm7         Bb           Bbm    C7
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Fm7           Bb           Gm7        C
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
    Fm7         Bb           Eb
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
          Bb       Cm           Gm
(Someday, someway, I know we'll find it)
    Ab          Bb           Eb
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
