Intro 1
(E minor) (G major) (E minor) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (D major) (A major)
Verse 1
At (A major) the (D major) end of the rainbow, (A major)
(G major) there's (D major) happiness
And to find it, how (G major) of ten I've tried
(D major) But my life is a race, (G minor)
(D major) just a wild goose (D minor) chase
My (A major) dreams have (E major) all been (E minor) denied. (A major)
(E minor) Why (D major) have I always been a failure? (G major)
(D major) What (C major) can (B major) the reason be? (E major) (A major)
(B flatdim) I (A major) wonder if the world's (Asus4) to blame
(G major) I (D major) (B minor) wonder if it (B flat major) could (B flat minor) be (B flatdim) me
(A major) (Adim) (A major) (E minor) (A major) (G major) (C sharpdim) (D major)
(A major) I'm (G major) always (A major) chasing rain (D major) (A major) bow (D major) (A major) s
(D major) Watch (E minor) (A major) ing (D major) cloud (G major) (A major) s
drifting by sky. (B minor) (Bdim)
(E minor) My schemes (F sharpdim) are (D sharpdim) just
(E minor) like all (F sharpdim) my (E minor) dream (G major) s,
(E minor) (E major) ending (D major) in (G minor) (G sharpdim) (E major) the
(G major) sky. (Asus4) (A major) (G major) (C minor)
(C sharpdim) Some (A minor) fellows look and
find the (Dsus4) sun shine. (D major)
(G major) I always (A minor) look and (G major) find the rain.
(C major) Some fellas make a (D sharpdim) winning sometime.
(B major) (B minor) I (B flat major) never even make (B flatdim) a (A major) gain,
believe (G major) me. (Edim) (C major) (D major)
(A major) I'm (D major) al (G major) ways (A major) chas (C major) ing rainbows, (B major)
(E minor) waiting (G major) to find a little (E major) bluebird
(A major) (D major) Some (A minor) fellas look and
find (D minor) the sun (D major) shine,
(G major) I always look (C major) an d find (Gdim) the rain.
Some (G major) (C major) fellas make a winning (D sharpdim) some (B major) time,
I nev (E major) er even make a (A major) gain, believe (B flat major) me,
(E flat major) I'm (B flat major) (F minor) always (B flatsus4) chas (B flat major) ing (E flat major) rainbow (C major) s.
(F minor) waiting to find a little blue (F major) (E flat major) bird (B flat major) in (A flatdim)
(Fdim) vain. (E flat major)
Interlude 1
(F minor) (E flat major)
(C major) (A flat major) (G major) (C minor) (G sharp major)
(G major) Hear (C major) that beat of
Verse 2
dancing (C minor) feet, (D major)
(D sharpdim) on (D major) the (C major) avenue I'm
(Adim) tak ing you (G sharp major) to,
(C minor) 42nd (Baug) (Gaug) (C minor) Street.
Oh, (F minor) I love that one. (G sharpdim)
(C minor) Saw that show three times.
Jerry Orbach, Tammy Grimes,
(Baug) it was so good.
(C minor) Remember (D sharp major) those lines from (G sharp major) the show?
you're going (F minor) out there a
youngster
but you got to come back a (F minor) star. (D sharp major)
(C minor) My favor (D major) ite though is when Jerry Orbach (C minor) as (F minor) the director
(B major) says, always re (Baug) member the (C minor) two (C major) greatest words
in the English lan (E flat major) guage are
(F minor) musical comedy. (G major)
(C minor) So (E flat major) good, so (C minor) good, as (C major)
As dramatic, even melodramatic,
as so many of the scenes are in 42nd Street,
nothing could have prepared
the opening night (E major) audience for the announcement that David Merrick,
the producer, made (D major) just as the company was taking its final bows
on that (G major) opening night.
(A flatdim) He (A major) told everyone (D minor) that Gower Champion had
(D major) died just that after (G major) noon,
just before the curtain went (E minor) up
on (E major) the opening performance. (A minor)
(D minor) I talked to a lot of people
(G major) about that time
and the general feeling is (D minor) that he probably
wouldn't have changed very (D minor) much. (G major)
He knew how ill he was.
He (C major) had been told by his (A major) doctors
that he (D minor) shouldn't do the show,
but he wanted to (G major) do it so badly. And I'm told
that he absolutely loved
the Harry Warren score.
He thought Harry Warren
was one of our finest songwriters.
I spoke to Leroy Reams,
who was in the company,
and he said that one day during rehearsals of 42nd Street,
they were having conversation,
he and Gower,
and Gower told him
that this time of working on the show
had been the happiest time of his life.
