133 - I’m Always Chasing Rainbows
I’m al-ways chas-ing rain-bows,
wa-tching clouds drift-ing by;
my schemes are just like all my dreams,
end-ing in the sky.
Some fel-lows look and find the sun-shine,
I al-ways look and find the rain;
Some fel-lows make a win-ning some-times,
I nev-er ev-en make a gain, be-lieve me
I’m al-ways chas-ing rain-bows,
Wait-ing to find a lit-tle blue-bird in vain.

Wait-ing to find a lit-tle blue-bird in vain.
