Chorus
[D]How many [G]colors can ya [D]see.
[G]Under my [A]rainbow family [D]tree.
Each [G]color sings a [A]different song and [D]in my heart its where [G]I belong.
[D]Right now this is [G]where I want to [F#]be.
[G]Shining with my [A]rainbow family [D]tree.
[D]The red rose of the rainbow shines for those that I love most.
[D]My momma raised me from a child my [A]momma held me close.
My [G]brothers and my [A]sister helped to [D]raise me patiently.
And [G]my son Bobby's [A]grown into a [D]man for all to see.
And [G]when he starts his [A]family he'll be [D]proud a lot like me.
And you [G]know someday there'll [A]come a time some[D]day.
Chorus
Now [D]how many [G]colors can you [D]see.
[G]Under my [A]rainbow family [D]tree.
Each [G]color sings a [A]different song and [D]in my heart its where [G]I belong.
[D]Right now this is [G]where I want to [F#]be.
[G]Shining with my [A]rainbow family [D]tree.
[D]The yellow hues shine brightly for my family far away.
[D]Prince Edward Island calls to me, the [A]red sand has its way.
My [G]Aunts they'd always [A]make me laugh,most [D]days I miss their smile.
My [G]Uncles told me [A]stories of the [D]land and of the mile.
My [G]cousins have all [A]grown up,I ain't [D]seen them in a while.
But you [G]know someday there'll [A]come a way some [D]day.
Chorus
Now [D]how many [G]colors can you [D]see.
[G]Under my [A]rainbow family [D]tree.
Each [G]color sings a [A]different song and [D]in my heart its where [G]I belong.
[D]Right now this is [G]where I want to [F#]be.
[G]Smiling with my [A]rainbow family [D]tree.
[D]Now the blue sky that survives the storm is for the love ones lost.
[D]Angels took them by the hand no [A]soul will be forgot.
My [G]Mom and Daddy they [A]walk beside me but [D]I can't hold their hand.
[G]Freddy, Bobby and [A]Steven walk tall [D]in the promised land.
Uncle [G]Bernie and Uncle [A]Frederick know I [D]long to shake their hands.
And you [G]know someday there'll [A]come a time some [D]way.
You [G]know someday there'll [A]come a time [D]someday
Chorus
Now [D]how many [G]colors can you [D]see.
[G]Under my [A]rainbow family [D]tree.
Each [G]color sings a [A]different song and [D]in my heart its where [G]I belong.
[D]Right now this is [G]where I want to [F#]be.
[G]Shining with my [A]rainbow family [D]tree.
Each [G]color sings a [A]different song and [D]in my heart its where [G]I belong.
[D]Right now this is [G]where I want to [F#]be.
[G]Shining with my [A]rainbow family [D]tree.
