lyrics

C E7 Am
I followed a Rainbow to San Francisco
Dm G7
Wondering what I could be
C E7
The colors surround me
Am
They know why they found me
Dm G7
Even when I couldn’t see
F
Rainbows are mysteries
C
They come and they go
E7
Like all of the people
Am
And friends I have known
F C
Their delicate beauty needs sunshine and rain
Dm G7
Just like our lives we have joy, we have pain
C Am
We are raindrops we are colors
F C
We vanish we shine
E7 Am Dm
So unexpectedly at just the right time
G7
at just....
C Am C Am C Am E7
the right time
Am F C F C
c E7 Am
Follow your rainbow wherever it goes
Dm G7
Where it will take you nobody knows
C E7 Am
And don’t be afraid if you lose your way
Dm G7
Rainbows don’t always shine every day

C Am C Am C Am C Am E7 Am F C F C
hmmm hmmmm

Dm G7
"And I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it
C E7 Am
There’s something that we’re supposed to be
Dm G7
I know we’ll find it, hmmm hmmm

F C F C
the lovers and dreamers hmmm hmmm
F C F C
the lovers, and dreamers hmmm hmmm

Dm G7 C F C
the lovers, the dreamers, and me"

C Am C Am
“If happy little bluebirds fly
C Am
If happy little bluebirds fly
Dm G7 C E7 Am
beyond the rainbow why oh why can’t I
Dm G7 Dm G7
why oh why why oh why
