Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I saw her reflection in the shadow of the sun

 Listening to the cadence of a dying drummers’ drum

Chorus

She knew I was coming nearer, she said no but I did not hear her

Rainbow woman, rainbow, rainbow woman, woman

Rainbow woman

When I heard her laughter I was more than some surprised

In her smile was sadness there was laughter in her eyes

Chorus + instrumental verse and chorus

Self respect is absent in a lonely man’s mirage

Love is sometimes given in a salty tear corsage

Chorus#2:

Make the Gods that made her claim her, she comes and goes and so I named her

Rainbow woman, rainbow, rainbow woman, woman

Rainbow woman (repeat)
