F   G   C

[Verse 1]

It had been midnight on the street
            G
Someone had helped me to my feet
                    Em   Am
And said, there’s a taxi out there
           Dm       C       G
Waiting to take you to your door


[Verse 2]
           C
The driver said, "Your destination?"
         G
I said, "Take me to the fair
             Em            Am
The time’s a-wasting and I have to go
    Dm        C       G        C
And close the evening there"


[Chorus]
           F        C      F
The golden coach is on the track
    C     F      C
And ready set to fly
            F         C        F
The rainbow ride will make its arc
    C       F      C    F
And send me to the sky
       C    F
To the sky


[Verse 3]
        C
Oh, the tunnel of love is cold and lonely
       G
In the hours before the dawn
        Em                   Am
And the ups and downs of the give and take 
    Dm           C       G
Are not what I’m looking for


[Verse 4]
    C
The Rainbow Ride will take me
             G
To where the Northern lights are born
       Em      Am
All my days of trouble
        Dm           C      G       F
Will be ice till the end of time


[Chorus]
    C      F        C      F
The golden coach is on the track
    C     F      C
And ready set to fly
            F         C        F
The rainbow ride will make its arc
    C       F      C    F
And send me to the sky
       C    F
To the sky
       C    F
To the sky


[Verse 7]
C
Rainbow take me
G               Em
Rainbow send me
    Am                 Dm    C       G
And place me where the sun becomes a star
F    C    D
Ooh, ooh, ooh
      G   Bb     C
Where I become a star


[Bridge]
                   F
Come flotsam, come jetsam
C                  F
Get on the Rainbow Ride
     C             F
Come flotsam, come jetsam
    C                     F
The riff-raff, the raggle-taggle

And get on board that Rainbow ride


[Outro]        (repeat and fade to end)
                   F
Come flotsam, come jetsam
    C                     F
The riff-raff, the raggle-taggle
     C             F
Come flotsam, come jetsam
    C                     F
The riff-raff, the raggle-taggle
