The Rainbow Connection
C Am F G
Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
C Am F G
and what's on the other side?

Rainbows are visions, but only illusions.
C Am F
Rainbows have nothing to hide.

I know they're wrong; wait and see.
Dm G Em7 A
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
Dm G C
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
C Am Dm G
Who said that every wish will be heard and answered
C Am F G
when wished on a morning star?
C Am F G
Somebody thought of that and someone believed him.
C Am F
Look what it's done so far.

What's so amazing and keeps us stargazing?
Em7
What do we think we might see?
Dm G Em7 A
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
