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
