    Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow.

 

           D                         - A

1. I'm saving my money        to buy you a rainbow,

                     - A7                       D         - D7

    a rainbow,        to fit on your finger.

     G                                                     D

    After I've gone and bought you the rainbow,

               A         A7                       D      - G - D

    I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon.

 

               D                                                      A

2. When we go walking side by side in the moonlight,

                                        A7                   D    - D7

    we count the stars as we go strolling by.

       G                                                              D

    Maybe one day we'll own those beautiful diamonds,

             A                     A7                            D        - G - D - D7

    that glisten like the teardrops from your eyes.

 

               G                              D                 G

    You know how I feel on a moment like this,

G                                             D          G

    when hand in hand, when we reminisce,

              A

    Your eyes seem to glow when you whisper low :

A7                     D

    I really love you.

 

+ repeat verse 1         (orig. = capo 1st from here)

 

+ repeat verse 1 (first two lines as instrumental)

 

              A         A7                       D

+ I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon, rainbow, rainbow, rainbow...
