Title:
“Rainbow in the Grey”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] Walking down the [G] streets of our [Am] city,
[F] Painted with stories [C] old and gritty.
[C] Looking at the [G] sky above so [Am] grey,
[F] Waiting for the [C] rain to wash away.
(Chorus)
[G] Rainbow in the [C] grey, [Am] casting shadows away,
[F] Drifting through the [C] day, [G] finding our own way.
[G] Rainbow in the [C] grey, [Am] turning night into day,
[F] With our music we [C] play, [G] drafting our own way.
(Verse 2)
[C] Dreams on the [G] horizon, wide and [Am] far,
[F] Guiding us like a [C] Northern Star.
[C] Through the [G] storm, the [Am] sun will find its way,
[F] In our hearts, it’s [C] always a sunny day.
(Chorus)
[G] Rainbow in the [C] grey, [Am] casting shadows away,
[F] Drifting through the [C] day, [G] finding our own way.
[G] Rainbow in the [C] grey, [Am] turning night into day,
[F] With our music we [C] play, [G] drafting our own way.
End with:
[C] With a wide-eyed [G] draft, we [Am] pave our path,
[F] Through the rainbow in the [C] grey.
