Am          D               Am            D
I saw her reflection in the shadow of the sun
Am               D            Am              D
Listening to the cadence of a dying drummers' drum
Am                            D
She knew I was coming nearer, she said no but I did not hear her
G       D               G       D
Rainbow woman, rainbow, rainbow woman, woman
G       Am
Rainbow woman
Am               D              Am             D
When I heard her laughter I was more than some surprised
Am               D                 Am              D
In her smile was sadness there was laughter in her eyes
Am                            D
She knew I was coming nearer, she said no but I did not hear her
G       D               G       D
Rainbow woman, rainbow, rainbow woman, woman
G       Am
Rainbow woman
Am              D           Am           D
Self respect is absent in a lonely man's mirage
Am                D          Am         D
Love is sometimes given in a salty tear corsage
Am                                     D
Make the Gods that made her claim her, she comes and goes and so I named her
G       D               G       D
Rainbow woman, rainbow, rainbow woman, woman
G       Am
Rainbow woman
Am                                     D
Make the Gods that made her claim her, she comes and goes and so I named her
G       D               G       D
Rainbow woman, rainbow, rainbow woman, woman
G       Am
Rainbow woman
