Song: Rainbow Connection
By:   Kermit the Frog

[intro:]  | A  D | A  D | A  D | A  D |

[verse: 1]
A                 F#m     D         E
Why are there so many, songs about rainbows
A                  F#m   Bm  E
And what's on the other side
A             F#m      D         E
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
    A                F#m     Bm  
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 D   A D
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

[verse: 2]
A              F#m          D                  E
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
A                   F#m     Bm   E
When wished on the morning star
A                   F#m          D        E
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it
A              F#m     Bm  
Look what it's done so far
Dmaj7
What's so amazing and keeps us stargazing
C#m7
And what do we think we might see

[chorus:]
Bm             E            C#m         F#
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
      D            E          A 
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

[bridge:]
E          A         F#m
All of us under its spell
Bm                 D        E    F  F
We know that it's probably mag___ic

{steps up 1/2 tone}
[verse: 3]
Bb             Gm              Eb              F
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices
Bb                Gm        Cm   F
I've heard them calling my name
Bb         Gm                Eb              F
Is this a sweet sound that calls the young sailors
Bb                 Gm           Eb
The voice might be one and the same
Ebmaj7
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
Dm7
It's something that I'm supposed to be

[chorus:]
Cm7           F              Dm       G
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
      Eb            F        Bb 
The lovers, the dreamers and me

[coda:]
F        Gm        Dm
La da da dee da da doo
Eb        F          Bb
La da da da dee  da doo
