-7*-7* 8 -7*-7* -7*
On the day I was born,
-9* -9 9 -7* -7* -7*
said my fa-ther, said he,
7 -7* -9*-9 8 -7* 7* 7
I’ve an el-e-gant leg-a-cy
7 -6 -6 -6
wait-ing for ye.
-3* -3* -7* -7* -7* 7 -6
‘Tis a rhyme for your lips
-3* -3*-7* -7* -7* 7 -6
and a song for your heart,
-7* -9 9 -7* 7* 7
To sing it when-ev-er
-6 -6 -5* -5* -5*
the world falls a-part.

Chorus:
-7* -9* -7* -7* 7* 7 -5*
Look, look, look to the rain-bow.
-7* -7* 7* 7 -7* -9* 9 7* 7 -6
Fol-low it ov-er the hill and stream.
-7* -9* -7* -7* 7* 7 -5*
Look, look, look to the rain-bow.
-6 -5* -6 7 -7* 7 -6 -7* -5 -5*
Fol-low the fel-low who fol-lows a dream.
8 -9 -9* -9*-7*7 7* -7* 8 -7*7-5*
Fol-low the fel-low, fol-low the fel-low,
-6 -5* -6 7 -7* 7 -6 -7* -5 -5*
Fol-low the fel-low who fol-lows a dream.

‘Twas a sumptuous gift bequeathed to a child.
Oh, the lure of that song
Kept her feet running wild.
For you never grow old and you never stand still
With a whippoorwill singing beyond the next hill.

So, I bundled me heart and
I roamed the world free.
To the east with the lark
Tow the west with the sea.
And I searched all the world
and I scanned all the skies.
But I found it at last in my own true love’s eyes.
