A             Gbm
Why are there so many
D           E7
Songs about rainbows
A                 Gbm   D    E7
And what's on the other side
A             Gbm
Rainbow's are visions
D        E7
But only illusions
A                 Gbm        D    E7
And rainbows have nothing to hide
D    
What's so amazing is that it keeps us star gazing
Dbm7
What do they we think we might see?
Bm            E7
Someday we'll find it
A           Gbm
The Rainbow Connection


Bm              E7           A             E7  


E7
The lovers, the dreamers and me
A             Gbm
Have you been half asleep?
D                      E7
And have you heard the voices
A                    Gbm        D    E7
Well I've heard them calling my name
A           Gbm              D               E7
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
A                  Gbm         D    E7
The voice might be one and the same
D    
I've heard it too many many times to ignore it
Dbm7
Ooooohh and that I think it could be


Bm                 E7
Well someday we'll find it
A           Gbm
The Rainbow Connection
Bm             E7           A
The lovers the dreamers and me
Bm            E7
Someday we'll find it
A         Gbm
a Rainbow Connection
Bm                  E7            A
The lovers, oh, the dreamers, and me

I also really like 6+, but it might not be that easy for beginners

I play it +6 by playing the +5 chords with a capo on the first fret, and strumming pattern I use down down-up-down-up as it’s 3/4

a good strumming pattern would be a 3/4 pattern. I used down down up down up.
down would be a whole note for one count and then the two down ups will be eighth notes.

Same as the Dbm is not in the A major key, it would be replaced with C#m

on a technicality, Gbm is not in the key of A major instead it should be F#m which do sound the same and the same fingering.

I second the +3, but here are better lyrics. Still working on the key change.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
And what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it
I know they’re wrong, wait and see.
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it,
and look what it’s done so far.
What’s so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell,
we know that it’s probably magic….
Have you been half asleep
and have you heard voices?
I’ve heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it.
It’s something that I’m supposed to be.
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa

What about the part that goes “All of us under its spell, we know that it’s probably magic?”

  The lyrics on this are incorrect, as with many songs on this website. I don’t know how they get the lyrics so wrong, but somehow they do.

    It’s to do with copyright, they can’t use exactly the same lyrics so they miss things out etc.

I like to play this in C major, so for the tab I just do G C E C E C A C F if I remember the song well enough. It sounds nice and is so simple. (I am awful at writing tablature, but it’s easy to pick up if you’ve heard this song recently.) :-)

Transpose 2 half steps down for an easier version.
