James Taylor live performance at this link:

=====================================================
James Taylor played this in A major with a capo at
the 2nd fret.  After the first tab version you'll
find another tab below that with an alternative way
of playing it, with fewer barre chords.
 
VERSION 1:
 
CAPO: 2nd fret
(Will then sound in the recorded key of B major)

[Verse 1]
Am                      C
Long a - go a young man sits,
    G                 C
And plays his waiting game,
    Bm                         Em
But things are not the same, it seems,
   Am             C
As in such tender dreams,
Am                     C
Slowly passing sailing ships,
    G              C
And Sunday after - noon,
     Bm                   Em
Like people on the moon, I see,
    Am                  C
Are things not meant to be?
 
{ CHORUS }
G                     Am
Where do those golden rainbows end?
G                   Am
       Why is this song so sad?
             G                        Am
             Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed,
(Why is this song so sad?)
 
          G                Am     G
My friend,   ...loving the love I love to...
 
[Verse 2]
Am                       C
Love is just a word I've heard,
     G                C
When things are being said,
Bm                      Em
Stories my poor head has told me...
Am               C
Cannot stand the cold,
    Am                            C
And in bet - ween what might have been,
    G                C
And what has come to pass,
  Bm                       Em
A misbe - gotten guess, a - las,
    Am             C
And bits of broken glass
 
{ CHORUS }
G                     Am
Where do those golden rainbows end?
 
              G                  Am
              Why is this song I sing so sad?
(Where do the rainbows end-----?)
 
G                        Am
Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed, my friend,
 
              G                      Am
                          Loving the love...
(Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed!)
 
          G                      Am
I love to love... to love, ...to love,
      (To love... to love, ...to love!)
 
     G                  Am
Woh, no, no, no, now!
