Rainbow Connection

[Verse 1]
F Dm Bb C
Why are there so many songs about rainbows,

and what's on the other side?

Rainbows are visions, but only illusions.
F Dm Bb
Rainbows have nothing to hide.

I know they're wrong; wait and see.

Bb C F
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Look what it's done so far.

I think that they're one and the same.

[Pre-chorus]

I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
D7 D
It's something that I'm supposed to be.

[chorus]

C7                                       F
But when they take their makeup off they look like Frankenstein

(chorus in between each verse)

The nurses that they give you, they say they're mighty fine
But when you break a finger, they break the other nine

The donuts that they give you, they say they're mighty fine
But one rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine

The toilets that they give you, they say they're mighty fine
But when you go to flush them, they cut off your behind

The water that they give you, they say it's mighty fine
But when you take a sip of it, it tastes like turpentine

The lifeguards that they give you, they say they're mighty fine
But when you say you're drowning, they say you're doing fine

The ship was full of water and the sides about to burst,
                           G7                 C7
When the captain shouted: "Women and children first!"
        F                F7           Bb                 F

Oh they swung the lifeboats out o'er the deep and raging sea
                             G7               C7
When the band struck up with Nearer My God to Thee
       F                 F7           Bb                    F
Little children wept and cried as the waves swept o'er the side
       C7           Bb               F7
It was sad when the great ship went down.

Lady Aster turned around as she watched her husband drown 
                     G7              C7
And the ship Titanic made a gurgling sound
       F                  F7           Bb                F
So she wrapped herself in mink and she called herself a fink

It was sad when that great ship went down

The moral of the story, as you can plainly see,
                                G7              C7
Is to wear a life preserver and never go out to sea.
          F             F7           Bb                 F
Keep your feet upon the ground, ever pure and faithful be

It was sad when the great ship went down

       Bb                   F
It was sad (so sad) it was sad (too bad)
                                    C7
It was sad when the great ship went down (to the bottom of the....)
F            F7            Bb                   F
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
       F            C7              F
It was sad when the great ship went down.
                                        F   F7   Bb  F
Ker-plunk, it sunk to the bottom of the sea
       Bb            C7              F
It was sad when the great ship went down


Lines I've never heard:

When the people on the ship were a long way from home,
With the people all around them didn't know their time had come.
But Death came ridin' by, sixteen hundred had to die.
It was sad when that great ship went down

The captain stood on deck with a tear drop in his eye
As the last boat went out, he waved them all goodbye
He knew he made a slip, so he went down with his ship
It was sad when the great ship went down

It was a night none would forget, even millionaires got wet!
