GUEST,Genie Lyr Req: The Rainbow Connection (50) RE: The rainbow connection 06 Oct 02


Back to The Rainbow Connection:
The lyrics you posted, Joe, left out the bridge.  Here they are with the bridge and the author credits:
Also, I was looking for the chords at Mudcat but didnt' find them, so I looked at sheet music and other sources and derived this simplified version of the chords.

And /  rainbows have /  nothing to /  hide.   /     /
G                      Bm                          G                 Bm

G                        A                    F#m                   B7
Someday we'll /  find it,  The /  Rainbow Con- /  nection,
            G                  A                     D
The /  lovers, the /  dreamers and /  me.   /      /

D                         F#                         G                      A
Who said that /  every wish would /  be heard and /  answered
                D                    Bm             G          A
When /  wished on the /  morning /  star? /      /
  D                    F#*                           G                    A
Somebody /  thought of that /  And someone be- /  lieved it
           D                      F#*             G        A
And /  look what it's /  done so /  far!   /       /
G                      Bm                    G                   Bm
What's so a- /  mazing  that /  keeps us star /  gazing   /
F#                    F#m
What do we /  think we might /  see?   /      /
G                        A                    F#m                   B7
Someday we'll /  find it,  The /  Rainbow Con- /  nection,
            G                  A                     D
The /  lovers, the /  dreamers and /  me.   /      /

Bridge:
A                 D               A                       G                         D             A
All of us /  under its /  spell --  /  We  /  know that it's /  probably /  magic.    /       /

D                         F#                        G                          A
Have you been /  half asleep, And /  have you heard /  voices? /
D                          Bm               G             A
I've heard them /  calling my /  name.   /      /
 D                      F#*                              G                        A
Are these the /  sweet sounds That /  called the young /  sailors?   /
D                         F#*                   G        A
I think they're /  one and the /  same.   /     /
G                   Bm                G                 Bm
I've heard it /  too many /  times to ig- /  nore it.
                F#                       F#m
There's /  something that /  I'm s'posed to /  be.   /         /
G                        A                    F#m                   B7
Someday we'll /  find it,  The /  Rainbow Con- /  nection,
            G                  A                     D
The /  lovers, the /  dreamers and /  me.
