Tune to "Magic is the sun..."

[densix]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a song to close out a campfire program - looking on http://www.scoutorama.com/song/ I found one I liked - "Magic". But I've no idea how the tune goes, and haven't been able to find anything online to help me out. Does any of you know?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Rob,

 

I haven't been able to locate the exact melody, but I did come up with the following information about the song. Hope this helps a bit:

 

ARTIST: Don Bellairs

TITLE: Magic

Lyrics and Chords

 

 

When I was young I thought the stars were made for wishing on

And every hole deep in a tree might hide a leprechaun

Old houses all had secret rooms, if you could find the key

I do believe in magic, I believe

 

/ F C F G / F C Am G / C Am F G / F G C - /

 

{Refrain}

Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of rain

Magic keeps the dream alive to try and try again

Magic is the love that stays when good friends have to leave

I do believe in magic, I believe

 

Growing up the grown-ups said someday I'd wake to find

That magic's just a childhood dream I'd have to leave behind

Like clothes that would no longer fit and toys that I'd ignore

I'd not believe in magic anymore

 

{Refrain}

 

Now that I am grown I found that much to my surprise

Magic did not fade away, it took a new disguise

A child, a friend, a smile, a song, the courage to stand tall

I do believe in magic, after all

 

Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of rain

Magic keeps the dream alive to try and try again

Magic is the love that stays when good friends have to leave

I do believe in magic, love's the greatest magic

I do believe in magic, I believe

 

... / F G F G / F G C - /
