Why are there so many . songs about rainbows
        G            /F#    Em7 Am7 . . D7 . .
And what's on the other side

Rainbows are visions . but only illusions
         G             /F#    Em7         Am7   D7
And rainbows have nothing to hide

Who said . that every wish . would be heard and answered
            G            /F#    Em7     Am7 . . D7 . .
When wished on the morning star
G            /F# Em7                     Am7             D7
Somebody thought of that . and someone believed it

G            /F#    Em7                      Am7                 D7
Have you been half asleep . and have you heard voices
G             /F#    Em7            Am7 . . D7 . .
I've heard them calling my name
G         /F# Em7                     Am7                  D7
Is this the sweet sound . that calls the young sailors
       G               /F# Em7              Am7   D7
The voice might be one . and the same
