Heard this song today (yeah, I m a bit behind on popular music) and decided to try
playing it, couldn t find any tabs or chords right away so did my best. I m not a pro guitar
player, but seeing there is nothing else on here, here is my attempt.
I figured the chrods myself, but found a youtube guy explaining the same chords I found
later on:

Any comments and suggestions are welcome, especially for the last part I did a bit of
guessing; my ears are not that great.
I find it a bit hard to explain the strumming pattern and I m not 100% sure, but this
will give a basic idea of what I think sounds well. I think it s a quite common one tho.
The guy in the vid above shows a slightly different one I think, but close anyway (at
least, it sounds a bit more sad than what I play)

The X s are palm muted strokes, only the first down stroke and the up strokes are open.
The Chords are during the whole song except for a breakdown after the second
chorus. I am still trying to figure out the exact melody thing that s often thrown in
during the song. I you got it, please post it.
Please note, Did my best on timing the chords, often seems that the words start while
still playing the previous chord. Listen well, think mostly the chords at the start of
each sentence are a little out of position.
Chorus first line seems to start on the last E of previous part, might get confused on
the missing and moving E s here and there.
INTRO:
Oh-oh oh oh oh-ih Oho-oho
Yeahiyeah woho-woh, Chasing rainbows
Your clear eye
is the most beautiful thing
like sunrise
over the sea
And when you smile with the day
your eyes are the warmest thing
you shed yesterdays skin
and a new day begins
CHORUS:
So even when clear skies
seem so far away
why go chasing rainbows
rainbows from your door
Cause even all the clear skies
won t bring back yesterday
so why go chasing rainbows
rainbows from your door
---Just repeat chords---
Those who have seen
seen the phoenix rise
say even from the pyre
the dawn can still be beautiful
The sound of your sunrise
carries on the four winds
you shed yesterday s skin
and a new day begins
CHORUS
---There is a break in the music here, after that no clear chords, may just repeat as
well ---
Sometimes we want to run away
from a place long gone
sometimes we want to throw away
what we need for what we want
when it s time to move on
move on...
CHORUS
