I've figured two ways to play this. Let's start out with the good version which demands a open D tuning and
capo on 5th fret. If you're feeling really lazy go ahead and play the standard tuning version below.
 
[Intro]

If you want to ride a rainbow, come with me
And I will take you to the magic purple sea
Maybe we will find a thousand sugar fish
When you eat them they will grant your every wish

If you want to catch a star, then walk my way
I will take you where the night is always day
You can follow me if you really try
Maybe we will find a rainbow to teach it to fly

And I will take you where the goblins are all good
I will take you where the elves and pixies do sing
And I will take you 'round the magic fairy ring

Bow your head, and let your eyelids close on down
Where we're going you won't need to bring your frown
You will find that all the things that I have said
Will come true when you are lying in your bed
