[Intro]
E  A/E
      x2
E             C#m     F#m          B
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
    E             C#m    A    B
and what's on the other side?
E            C#m          F#m   B
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
    E             C#m        A
and rainbows have nothing to hide
 Amaj7
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
 G#m7
I know they're wrong, wait and see
F#m7          B            G#m7    C#7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
F#m             B            E   A/E   E   A/E
The lovers, the dreamers and me
E                   C#m           F#m       B
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
     E             C#m        A   B
when wished on the morning star?
E                   C#m      F#m     B
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
     E         C#m     A
Look what it's done so far
 Amaj7
What's so amazing that keeps us star-gazing?
 G#m7
And what do we think we might see?
F#m7          B            G#m7    C#7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
    F#m         B            E
The lovers, the dreamers and me
D#m7b5      C#m7          E
All of us under its spell
   A              G#m7     F#m B
We know that it's probably magic
E             C#m             F#m            B
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
E          C#m             A     B
I've heard them calling my name
E           C#m              F#m             B
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
E                  C#m7         A
The voice might be one and the same
 Amaj7
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
 G#m7
It's something that I'm supposed to be
F#m7          B            G#m7    C#7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
    F#m         B            E
The lovers, the dreamers and me
