Intro: [G] [Bm7] [C] [Cm] [G] [D7sus4] [D7] [G]
[G] [Gmaj7]
You used to dream yourself away each night
[B7] [Em7] [Am7]
To places that you'd never been
[G] [Em]
On wings made of wishes
[Am7] [D7sus4] [D7]
That you whispered to yourself.
[G] [Bm7]
Back when every night the moon and you
[C] [Cm] [G]
Would sweep away to places That you knew
[D7] [G]
Where you would never get the blues
[B7] [Em7] [B7]
Well now, whiskey gives you wings
[Em7] [D] [G]
To carry each one of your dreams
[G] [Gmaj7]
And the moon does not belong to you
[C] [B7] [Em7] [B7]
But I believe that your heart Keeps young dreams
[Em7] [A7]
Well, I've been told To keep from ever growing old
[C]
And a heart that has been broken
[D7sus4] [D7]
Will be stronger when it mends
[G] [Bm7]
Don't let the blues stop you singing
[C] [Cm]
Darlin', you've only got a broken wing
[G] [D7sus4] [D7]
Hey, you just hang on to my rainbow
[G] [C]
Hang on to my rainbow
[G] [D7] [G]
Hang on to my rainbow sleeves
