E
Lookin' for a hole in the sky
      G#                            C#m
There seem to be some people who perpetually try
    F#sus                   F#
They wait for a break in the overcast
    A                           B
They know that the clouds will eventually pass
    A    B   C#m    F#sus             F#
And bring the sun; oh maybe they're the ones
                      A    Am E
Who are ready for the Rainbow Man

E
Manifest destiny
    G#                            C#m
The only thing you get to give is what you can be
F#sus       F#
All my life I've been waitin'
A                   B
To find a love worth imitating
A   B    C#m            F#sus       F#
Now it's come; and it's callin' everyone
                     A   Am   E
To get ready for the Rainbow Man

       C#m    G#
Rainbow Man, Oo oo,
A                B             E
he holds all the colors in his hand

And he's been at the heart of love ever since love began
         A   Am E
He's the Rainbow Man

God bless rock and roll
    G#                  C#m
But don't let the world take your soul
            F#sus            F#
There'll be roads to riches; roads to ruin
A                   B
Follow the road that leads right to Him
A    B   C#m       F#sus          F#
He's the one, He's standin' in the sun
             A    Am E
They call the Rainbow Man

       C#m    G#
Rainbow Man oo, oo,
A                B             E
he holds all the colors in his hand
    A                     G#sus G#    C#m       F#
And he breaks through the darkness   again and again
         A    Am E
He's the Rainbow Man
         F# A   D-D#-E
He's the Rainbow Man
         A   Am   E
He's the Rainbow Man
