Verse 1
[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Why are there		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] so many		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] songs about		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] rainbows
and [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] what's on the		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] other		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] side?		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]
[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Rainbows are		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] visions, but		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] only ill-		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] usions
and [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] rainbows have		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] nothing to		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] hide.		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]
[Gmaj7Major 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,M7)
on the Perfect Fourth] So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
[F♯m7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Major Third] I know they're wrong, wait and see.

Chorus
[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] Someday we'll		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] find it, the		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] rainbow		 [B7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Major Sixth] connection.
The [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] lovers, the		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] dreamers and		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] me.
Repeat Intro

Verse 2
[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Who said that		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] every wish would		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] be heard and		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] answered
when [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] wished on the		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] morning		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] star?		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]
[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Somebody		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] thought of that and		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] someone		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] believed it.
[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Look what it's		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] done so		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] far.		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]
[Gmaj7Major 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,M7)
on the Perfect Fourth] What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
and [F♯m7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Major Third] what do we think we might see?
Repeat Chorus

Bridge
[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] All of us		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] under its		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] spell.
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] We know that it's		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] probably		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] magic.

Verse 3
[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Have you been		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] half asleep and		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] have you heard		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] voices?
[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] I've heard them		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] calling my		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] name.		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]
[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

on the Major Sixth] sweet sound that		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] calls the young		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] sailors?
The [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] voice might be		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] one and the		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] same.		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]
[Gmaj7Major 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,M7)
on the Perfect Fourth] I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's [F♯m7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Major Third] something that I'm supposed to be.
Repeat Chorus
