Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]I wa[D]s bo[Bm]rn a[C] po[G]or,[Em]
poor [Bm]man
All my life I [D]had [G]hardworkin' han[C]ds
But I sang a [Cm]song as I carried my load
[G]'Cuz I had a dream
[C]about Rainbow
[G]

[Verse 2]
Then [Em]one day, my chance came along
[Bm]A man heard me singin'
[G]and playing these old songs
[C]He bought me fine clothes,
[Cm]paid the money I owed
[G]Started me on my [C]way down
Rainbow
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Then one [D]night, a man [C]with a knife
Pushed me till [G]I had to take his life
[C]Fast as fallin',
all my friends [Cm]were gone
That old [G]judge traded [C]me a
sentence for [Em]a son[D]g[G]

[Verse 4]
Just livin' [Em]with this ball n' chain
[Bm]Had to wear a [G]number for
[C]they never call my name
Like [Cm]a dream, I'm growin' old
[G]But we still sing abo[C]ut Rai[Em]nbow[D]

[Outro 1]
[C][G][Em][D][C][G][Em]
[D][C][G][Em][D]
