Story behind the song
I had a dream and was suddenly struck by a near compulsion to write Rainbows and Roses. It's the story of my life in the last year.
Lyrics
Intro
(G)Watching the Sunset
(EMIN) Over the Bridge
(C) and I get to thinkin
How my (D) life has been
Chorus
(G)Rainbows and roses
(EMIN) and stormy skies
(AMIN) lovers and heartaches
and the (C) look in a(D)child's (G)eyes
(G)Sunsets and moonbeams
(EMIN) Bright Blue Skies
(AMIN) Long prairie summers
Ain't it (C) funny (D)How time (G) Just Flies
(G)Travelled the world
(EMIN) To find a place of my own
(C) Only to find
(D) It was right here at home
(G)Reached my destination
(EMIN) On a wing and a prayer
(C) And I'm honoured to say
(D) You were always (G) there
(G)Rainbows and roses
(EMIN) and stormy skies
(AMIN) lovers and heartaches
and the (C) look in a(D)child's (G)eyes
(G)Sunsets and moonbeams
(EMIN) Bright Blue Skies
(AMIN) Long prairie summers
Ain't it (C) funny (D)How time (G) Just Flies
Went way down east to the city lights
Thought that would change things
make things right
Left the music and started the dance
of the businessman with half a chance
I Laid rubber on the 401
had a wreck on the way back from Kingston
What I thought was love was lust again
and I still remember when
I thought my life was...
(G)Rainbows and roses
(EMIN) and stormy skies
(AMIN) lovers and heartaches
and the (C) look in a(D)child's (G)eyes
(G)Sunsets and moonbeams
(EMIN) Bright Blue Skies
(AMIN) Those Long prairie summers
Ain't it (C) funny (D)How time (G) Just Flies
Went back to the place where I was young
baseball in the wheat field and having fun
the field is gone but I found my way
back in time to another day
Just when I thought the music was gone
I picked up my flattop and wrote this song
bout life and living and what that means
and now I'm out here living my dreams
I'm watching...
(G)Rainbows and roses
(EMIN) and stormy skies
(AMIN) lovers and heartaches
and the (C) look in a(D)child's (G)eyes
(G)Sunsets and moonbeams
(EMIN) Bright Blue Skies
(AMIN) Those Long prairie summers
Ain't it (C) funny (D)How time (G) Just Flies
(G)Rainbows and roses
(EMIN) and stormy skies
(AMIN) lovers and heartaches
and the (C) look in a(D)child's (G)eyes
(G)Sunsets and moonbeams
(EMIN) Bright Blue Skies
(AMIN) Those Long prairie summers
Ain't it (C) funny (D)How time (G) Just Flies
