[Verse 1]

D D Bm Bm G G A A
Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
D D Bm Bm G G
and what's on the other side?
D D Bm Bm G G A A
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions.
D D Bm Bm G G
Rainbows have nothing to hide.
G G
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
A7 A7 A A
I know they're wrong wait and see.


[Chorus]

G G A A D D Bm Bm
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
G G A A D D
The lovers, the dreamers and me.


[Verse 2]

D D Bm Bm G G A A
Who said that every wish will be heard and answered
D D Bm Bm G G
and wished on a morning star?
D D Bm Bm G G A A
Somebody thought of that and someone believed him.
D D Bm Bm G G
Look what it's done so far.
G G
What's so amazing and keeps us stargazing?
A7 A7 A A
What do we think we might see?


[Chorus]

G G A A D D Bm Bm
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
G G A A D D
The lovers, the dreamers and me.


[Bridge]

A A D D Bm Bm
All of us under its spell,
G G Em Em A A A#maj7 A#maj7
We know that it's probably magic ............


[Verse 3]
(Key Change)

E E C#m C#m A A B B
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
E E C#m C#m A A
I've heard them calling my name.
E E C#m C#m A A B B
Are these the sweet sounds that called the young sailors?
E E C#m C#m A A
I think that they're one and the same.
A A
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
B7 B7 B B
It's something that I'm supposed to be.


[Chorus]

A A B B E E C#m C#m
Someday we'll find it the rainbow connection,
A A B B E E
the lovers, the dreamers and me.


[Outro]

A A B B E E C#m C#m
Da-da-da-dee-dee-da-dum
A A B B E E
Ba-da-da-da-da-dee-da-dum

If you put it down 5 steps it becomes A major which is the key of the actual song. Also the strumming is D-DUDU D-DUDU. Your Welcome lol

About this song: Rainbow Connection

"Rainbow Connection" was written by Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher for The Muppet Movie (1979). It serves as the film's opening number, sung by Kermit the Frog; the lyrics concern the journey to find one's purpose in life. The chorus receives a reprise in the closing ensemble number, "Finale: The Magic Store". The song was nominated for Best Original Song at the 52nd Academy Awards. The song is considered emblematic of The Muppets as a whole, making an appearance in every Muppet feature released thus far, including the 2011 film The Muppets. Read more on Last.fm.
