-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.
