Muppets Rainbow Connection

This is my own personal arrangement. I got it by slightly simplifying the

piano sheet music, and putting it in a better key (G). Note that my version

also doesn't modulate a half-step up at the end. (Do _you_ want to play in

A flat?)

THE RAINBOW CONNECTION

----------------------

 

Why are there so many songs about rainbows

And what's on the oth - er side?

Rain - bows are visions, but on - ly ill - us - ions

| G D/F# | Em Em/D | C(9) | C(9) |

And rainbows have nothing to hide

So we've been told, and some choose to be - lieve it

I know they're wrong, wait and see

Some - day we'll find it, the rain - bow con - nection

| Am7 | D7sus D7 | G | C/G | G | C/G |

The lovers, the dreamers, and me [repeat intro]

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered

When wished on the morning star?

Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it

And look what it's done so far

What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing

And what do we think we might see?

Some - day we'll find it, the rain - bow con - nection

| Am7 | D7sus D7 | G | D/F# |

The lovers, the dreamers, and me, all of us

Un - der its spell, we know that it's prob - ably

mag - ic

Have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices?

I've heard them calling my name

Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?

The voice might be one and the same

I've heard it too many times to ignore it

It's something that I'm supposed to be

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection

| Am7 | D7sus D7 | G | D/F# |

The lovers, the dreamers, and me, la da da

| Em | G/D | C | Dsus D | G.

dee da da doo, la la da da da dee da doo

Rainbow Connection Performed by Kermit the Frog

-----------------------------------------------

(Intro: A D)

Why are there so many songs about rainbows

and what's on the other side?

Rainbows are visions, but only illusions

and rainbows have nothing to hide

So we've been told and some choose to believe it

I know they're wrong, wait and see

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection

The lovers, the dreamers and me

(same chords as above)

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered

when wished on the morning star?

Somebody thought of that and someone believed it

Look what it's done so far

What's so amazing that keeps us star-gazing?

And what do we think we might see?

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection

The lovers, the dreamers and me

All of us under its spell

D D/C# E F [majestic modulation]

We know that it's probably magic

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?

I've heard them calling my name

Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?

The voice might be one and the same

I've heard it too many times to ignore it

It's something that I'm supposed to be

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection

The lovers, the deamers and me

La da da de da da do

La da da da da de da do

THE RAINBOW CONNECTION

(As sung by Kermit the Frog on The Muppet Movie Soundtrack.)

This is a simplified version in a nice acoustic key, D.

It's really in A or B, I'm not sure which.

All of the chords move 1 half step up at the key change, but I

left the end of the song in the same key to keep it simple.

(You may just want to slide up your capo at that point...)

Why are there so many

Songs about rainbows

And what's on the other side

Rainbows are visions

And only illusions

And rainbows have nothing to hide

So we've been told and some choose to believe it

I know they're wrong, wait and see!

Someday we'll find it

The rainbow connection

The lovers, the dreamers, and me!

Who said that every wish

Would be heard and answered

When wished on the morning star?

Somebody thought of that

And someone believed it

Look what it's done so far!

What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing

And what do we think we might see?

Someday we'll find it

The rainbow connection

The lovers, the dreamers, and me!

All of us under it's spell

G D A (KEY CHANGE A -> A#)

We know that it's probably magic!

Have you been half asleep

And have you heard voices?

I've heard them calling my name!

Is it the sweet sound

That calls the young sailors

The voice might be one and the same.

I've heard it too many times to ignore it

It's something that I'm supposed to be!

Someday we'll find it

The rainbow connection

The lovers, the dreamers, and me!

La da da dee da da dew

Da da da da dee da da dew

Here is a correction for rainbow_connection by the muppets. This song was

first uploaded by howell@cae.wisc.edu. The chords and lyrics are right, but

here are the changes to make it the correct key:

Change all of the D's to A's (D = A)

F#m = C#m

G = D

A = E

Bm = F#m

B7 = F#7
