The Rainbow Connection - Kermit the Frog (The Muppet Movie)
No Capo. Standard Tuning.
Wanted to make sure this song was done right, just like in the movie; key change
and all! One thing I like to occasionally do when I play this song is make the F#m
(and especially the Gm, after the key change) an F#m7 (or Gm7) to add a bit of
texture. It's also fun to throw in the occasional E7 during the verses. Try
playing around with it!

[Verse]
A F#m D E
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
A F#m D E
and what's on the other side?
A F#m D E
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
A F#m D E
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
Dmaj7
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
C#m7
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
[Chorus]
Bm E C#m F#
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
D E A
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
[repeat intro x2]
[Verse]
A F#m D E
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
A F#m D E
when wished on the morning star?
A F#m D E
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
A F#m D E
Look what it's done so far.
Dmaj7
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
C#m7
and what do we think we might see?
[Chorus]
Bm E A F#
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
D E A
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
E/G# F#m A/E
All of us under its spell.
D A/C# E F
We know that it's probably magic.
[Verse]
A# Gm D# F
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
A# Gm D# F
I've heard them calling my name.
A# Gm D# F
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
A# Gm D# F
The voice might be one and the same.
D#maj7
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
Dm7
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
[Chorus]
Cm F Dm G
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
D# F A#
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
