John Mellencamp - Chasing Rainbows

Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
D Bm A G A D Bm A G A

[Verse 1]
D G
A long, long time ago
A
When I used to chase rainbows
D Bm
I thought there was a pot of gold
A
When I got to the end
D G
But there were many people there
A
And I said, “What are you doing here?”
D Bm G A D
They said they were looking for the end of the rainbow

[Chorus]
D Em7
At the end of the rainbow
A
Turns out it’s not somewhere
D Bm
Look around, it’s everywhere
G A D
For anyone who cares

[Interlude]
D Bm A G A
D Bm A G A

[Verse 2]
D G
This world is full of fancy dreams
A
And money can get you anything
D Bm
But that’s not really true
A
It’s just make-believe
D G
As you walk down the streets of broken dreams
A
Where some have lost everything
D Bm
While others are still looking for
G A D
That easy pot of gold

[Chorus]
D Em
At the end of the rainbow
A
Turns out it’s not somewhere
D Bm
Look around, it’s everywhere
G A D
For anyone who cares

[Fiddle Solo]
D G A D G A D
Bm D G A D

[Verse 3]
D G
Some people will go to any means
A
To capture a shallow dream
D Bm
In this world of make-believe
A
That we all believe is true
D G
When you get there, there’s no place to go
A
Just a lot of I-told-you-so’s
D Bm
So take this love with you when you go
G A D
To the end of the rainbow

[Chorus]
D Em
At the end of the rainbow
A
Turns out it’s not somewhere
D Bm
Look around, it’s everywhere
G A D
For anyone who cares
D Em
At the end of the rainbow
A
Turns out it’s not somewhere
D Bm
Look around, it’s everywhere
G A D
For anyone who cares

[Outro]
D Bm A G A D Bm A G
A G D
