Misc Television - Kermit The Frog – The Rainbow Connection

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!

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 .

Bm E A F#
someday we’ll find it , the rainbow connection .
D E A
the lovers , the dreamers and me .
