D             Bm      Em             A
Why are there so many songs about rainbows 
    D             Bm    G
and what's on the other side?
D            Bm           Em      A
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered 
     D             Bm      G
when wished on the morning star?
D         Bm                 Em          A
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
     D             Bm       G
And look what it's done so far
CHORUS
Gmaj7
 What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
    F#m
and what do we think we might see?

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection

Yes I've heard them calling my name
Eb             Cm           Fm                Bb

The voice might be one and the same

It's something that I'm supposed to be

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
