Lookin' for a hole in the sky

There seem to be some people who perpetually try

They wait for a break in the overcast

They know that the clouds will eventually pass

And bring the sun; oh maybe they're the ones
                                    G    Gm D
Who are ready for the Rainbow Man

All my life I've been waitin'
G                              A
To find a love worth imitating
G      A   Bm                Esus             E
Now it's come; and it's callin' everyone
                               G    Gm   D
To get ready for the Rainbow Man

Rainbow Man, Oo oo,
G                      A                  D
he holds all the colors in his hand

He's the Rainbow Man

God bless rock and roll

But don't let the world take your soul
                  Esus                  E
There'll be roads to riches; roads to ruin
G                              A
Follow the road that leads right to Him
G    A    Bm          Esus               E
He's the one, He's standin' in the sun
                     G    Gm D
They call the Rainbow Man

Rainbow Man oo, oo,
G                      A                  D
he holds all the colors in his hand
       G                               F#sus F#   Bm             E
And he breaks through the darkness   again and again

             G    Gm   D
He's the Rainbow Man
