Note: I've heard different ways to play a particular
chord on this song.Some have said that a D/F#
is the proper chord in the progression but I
hear a Bm.I'll use D/F# and let the reader
decide if they want to susbstitute a Bm instead.
Sometimes I think an Em substitutes for a Cmaj7
too but that's just my opinion.
Chords:

[G]I rode into [D/F#(Bm)]town today

[Cmaj7]Don't know what it is the good lord
G Fill #1
Bred it in my bones...........And I'm
S[C]earchin' for a ra[G]inbow

B[G]ut in my h[D/F#(Bm)]eart she's knows this[Cmaj7] one desire
Sh[G]e's gonna [D/F#(Bm)]take me to the [Cmaj7]end of our road
Then she'll l[G]ay down and[D/F#(Bm)] die and I'll say
Cmaj7 G Fill #1
"God rest her soul".................And I'm
S[C]earchin' for a r[G]ainbow
