           C       F       C                 Am       Dm      G
There is a place I love in Africa, that they call the rainbow land,
G                         C       F         Dm             G
It is a place to grow and live as one, in a brotherhood of man,
           C          F          C                Am      Dm        G
There is a light that comes from Africa, and it’s shining round the world,
            G                C         F         Dm         G       C
Let all the colours speak of pride and joy, in a voice that must be heard....


C                  F                      C 
We are riding on a rainbow, we are flying free,
                   G                     C
We are riding on a rainbow, yes, you and me.


           C       F       C                Am      Dm     G
There is a heart I hear in Africa, and it's beating like a drum,
G                       C      F         Dm               G
Let everyone get up and to the stars, we will go marching on,
        C       F      C             Am      Dm     G
I had a dream I was in Africa, I was soaring like a bird,
           G              C    F           Dm      G      C
And then a million voices all around, were singing to the world....


C                       F                      C 
That we are riding on a rainbow, we are flying free,
                   G                     C
We are riding on a rainbow, yes, you and me.

C                    F                      C 
We are together on a rainbow, we are flying free,
                    G                     C
We are forever on a rainbow, yes, you and me.


C            F                 C
Lala lala la lalala, lala lala laa,
                G            C
Lala lala la la lala, la lalalaa

C            F                 C
Lala lala la lalala, lala lala laa,

Lala lala la la lala, la lalalaa

We are riding on a rainbow, yes, you and me.

C                    F                      C
