This is my own personal arrangement. I got it by slightly simplifying the
piano sheet music, and putting it in a better key (G). Note that my version
also doesn’t modulate a half-step up at the end. (Do _you_ want to play in
A flat?)

THE RAINBOW CONNECTION
———————-
| G | C/G | G | C/G |
[intro]
| G | Em Em/D | Am7 | C/D D |
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
| G D/F# | Em Em/D | Am7 | C/D |
And what’s on the oth — er side?
| G | Em Em/D | Am7 | C/D D |
Rain — bows are visions, but on — ly ill — us — ions
| G D/F# | Em Em/D | C(9) | C(9) |
And rainbows have nothing to hide
| Cmaj7 | Cmaj7 | Cmaj7 | Cmaj7 |
So we’ve been told, and some choose to be — lieve it
| F#m7/B | F#m7/B | F#m7/B | F#m7/B |
I know they’re wrong, wait and see
| Am7 | D7 | Bm7 | E7 |
Some — day we’ll find it, the rain — bow con — nection
| Am7 | D7sus D7 | G | C/G | G | C/G |
The lovers, the dreamers, and me [repeat intro]
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?
| Am7 | D7 | Bm7 | E7 |
Some — day we’ll find it, the rain — bow con — nection
| Am7 | D7sus D7 | G | D/F# |
The lovers, the dreamers, and me, all of us
| Em | G/D | C | G/B |
Un — der its spell, we know that it’s prob — ably
| Am7 | D7 |
mag — ic
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
| Am7 | D7sus D7 | G | D/F# |
The lovers, the dreamers, and me, la da da
| Em | G/D | C | Dsus D | G.
dee da da doo, la la da da da dee da doo
