When you walk the streets you'll have no cares

Watch the donut, not the hole

It's written on the rainbow
   G               D
In letters made of gold
G              D
Written on the rainbow

There's wisdom to behold

My friend the little sparrow
     G               D
Flew close enough to see

Written on a rainbow
