Look To The Rainbow
From "Finian's Rainbow" ca. 1947
Lyrics: E. Y. Harburg: Music: Burton Lane
On the Fday I was Amborn, said me Ffather, Amsaid he,
F (C7) F (G7)
"I've an elegant legacy waiting for ye.
'tis a rGhyme for your G7lips
Dm7* G7
And a song for your heart
To Dm7sing it whenG7ever the worFld falls apFart.
Chorus:
LFook, lAmook , lGook G7to the raFinbow.
Am F F (Dm7) G7
Follow it over the hill and the stream.
LFook, lAmook , lGook G7to the raFinbow.
FFollow a Ffellow whG7o follows aF dream.
FFollow a fFellow, GfollG7ow aF fellow,
FFollow a fFellow whoG7 follows Fa dream.
'Twas a FsumptuosAm gift to beFqueath to Ama child,
F (C7) F (G7)
And the lure of that song kept me feet running wild,
G G7 Dm7* G7
For you'll never grow old and you'll never stand still,
With thDm7e whip-poor-willG7's song just Fbeyond the nFext hill.
Chorus ...
So I Fbundled my hAmeart and IF roamed the worAmld free,
F (C7) F (G7)
To the east with the lark, to the west with the sea,
G G7 Dm7* G7
And I searched all the hills and I scanned all the skies
Till IDm7 found it aG7t last in mFy own true love'Fs eyes.
Chorus ...
*This Am7 is 002010, not 002213.
I'm not positive the one I use is called Dm7.
You can get by with just F, F, G7, and Am (using F instead of Dm7) if you insist
that "less is more.
