E C#m
I was born a poor poor man
G#m E
All my life I had hard workin' hands
A Am
But I sang a song as I carried my load
E A C#m B
Cause I had a dream about a Rainbow, Rainbow Road
E C#m
Then one day my chance came along
G#m G# E
Man heard me singin' and playing my songs
A Am
He bought me fine clothes, paid the money I owed
E A C#m B
Sent me on my way to rainbow, Rainbow Road
C#m B
Then one night a man with a knife
A E
Pushed me untill I had to take his life
A Am
Now I plead so desperately
E A C#m B
Judge show no mercy when he passed his sentence on me
E C#m
Now I pull this ball `n chain
G#m E
Wearing a number for my name
A Am
My dreams like me I'm growing old
E A E
there is no dream about the rainbow, Rainbow Road
