[Intro]
E   A/E   x2
[Strophe]
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
[Pre-Refrain]
 Amaj7 
So we've been told and some choose to believe it 
 G#m7 
I know they're wrong, wait and see
[Refrain]
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
[Strophe]
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
[Pre-Refrain]
 Amaj7 
What's so amazing that keeps us star-gazing? 
 G#m7 
And what do we think we might see?
[Refrain]
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
[Interlude]
D#m7b5      C#m7          E 
All of us under its spell 
   A              G#m7     F#m B 
We know that it's probably magic
[Strophe]
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
[Pre-Refrain]
 Amaj7 
I've heard it too many times to ignore it 
 G#m7 
It's something that I'm supposed to be
[Refrain]
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
