G   G      C           C     G         D  
OH HAD I A GOLDEN THREAD AND NEEDLE SO FINE  
G   G       C          C    G         D7  D7  
I’D WEAVE A MAGIC STRAND OF RAINBOW DESIGN  
C  G   D7     G    G   G  
OF RAINBOW DESIGN  
  

IN IT I’D WEAVE THE BRAVERY OF WOMEN GIVING BIRTH  
IN IT I WOULD WEAVE THE INNOCENCE OF CHILDREN OVER ALL THE EARTH  
CHILDREN OF ALL EARTH  
  
FAR OVER THE WATERS I’D REACH MY MAGIC BAND  
THROUGH FOREIGN CITIES TO EVERY SINGLE LAND  
TO EVERY LAND  
  
SHOW MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS MY RAINBOW DESIGN  
BIND UP THIS SORRY WORLD WITH HAND AND HEART AND MIND  
HAND AND HEART AND MIND  
  
FAR OVER THE WATERS I’D REACH MY MAGIC BAND  
TO EVERY HUMAN BEING SO THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND  
SO THEY’D UNDERSTAND  
  
I’D WEAVE AN END TO BUNS AND BOMBS  
BURY THEM UNDER CONCRETE FLOORS  
THE DAYS OF ANGER END AND THERE BE NO MORE WARS  
THERE BE NO MORE  
            (This verse by Bill Goodman, in Chicago)  
  
I’D WEAVE A LAND OF PARKS WHERE PEOPLE CAN BE AT PEACE  
THE LAND WILL BE SPARKLING CLEAN AND THERE BE A CLEAR BREEZE  
AND THERE BE A CLEAR BREEZE  
  
IN IT I’D WEAVE THE DIGNITY OF FOLKS IN EVERY LAND  
IN IT I’D WEAVE JUSTICE TO STRENGTHEN EVERY STRAND  
EVERY STRAND  
            (These two verses by Paula Belsey, in Oregon)
