Chords for Rainbow Connection | 54 Celebrates the Muppets

_ _ Now we are drawing to the evening to a [F#] close, ladies and gentlemen.
It's been a fantastic night.
I would very [F] quickly like to thank _ KJ and Amanda in the booth.
_ Yeah.
[E] _
_ [G] And over there, my darling there. _
Jim [N] Tepper, the entire 54 of the Boat staff.
And Kaplan and the band.
Yeah. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ I'd very quickly like to say that the reason everyone [A#] is here tonight is because we have all in some way been moved by the Muppets.
We _ love them and have had them in our lives.
_ Even over in Britain we have them and we really love them.
_ Yeah. _ _ _ _
And I would like to just say on behalf of us there, a huge thank you for letting us be a part of this _ fantastic night.
I really nearly cried when Kevin came out of it.
_ _ _ It's fantastic.
And I would like to _ last of all just invite back on the stage _ Mr.
Rick Lyon _ for the finale.
Are you coming?
Yeah.
[N] Here he comes.
Thank _ _ _ you _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ so much.
You've been [A#] great. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ All right.
Let's try it one more time.
[D] _
_ _ _ _ Before we get started, let me tune you.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [A#] All right. _ _ _
There is any song that is associated with the Muppets.
This _ song, just as a little footnote to the song.
One of the very first films that Jim Henson ever saw, or at least he remembers ever seen, was The Wizard of Oz. _
So think about that and listen to this beautiful song by Paul Williams. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ Why are [Em] there so _ many _ stars? _ _
_ [D] _ Rainbows _ [A#] and [G]
what's on [Em] the _ _ other [C] side?
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ Rainbows [Em] are visions, _ [Am] but only _ [D] in vision.
[A#] _ _
[Bm] And _ [D] rainbows [Em] have what _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
they choose to [Am] be.
But _ _ [Bm] I know they're wrong.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ Someday [D] we'll _ find [Bm] _
a rainbow _ _ [E] connection.
_ _ _ [Am] Full of herbs [D] and _ _ trees.
[G] _ _ _
Can [C] we _ _ _ _
[G] hear a little bit of John?
Yeah, [C] I can. _
_ _ [G] The _ song [Em]
that I _ wish [Am] would be heard [D] at _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
each dawn [Em] the _ _ morning [C] _ _ _ star.
[D] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ Somebody, _ _ [Em] who's heart _ _ _ [Am] is _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ pounding [C] so _ _ fast.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
Amazing, _ that keeps us _ _ _ stargazing.
[Bm] And what do we think we might [E] _ see? _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ Something, _ [D] a _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ rainbow _ _
[E] _ connection.
_ [Am] But _ _ lovers, [D] the _ _ dreamers, [G]
they're _ deep.
[Bm] _ _ All of [Em] us are great [G]
still.
_ _ We don't _ [Bm] expect _ the [D] dreamers. _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ We have [F#m] _
children [Bm] that have newer [E] _
voices.
_ _ [A] _ I've heard [F#m]
them calling _ [D] my _ _
_ [E] _ [F#m] name.
[E] _ _ [A] _
Is this [F#m] the sweet _ sound [Bm] that _ calls a [E] young _ sailor?
[C#m] The voice my [F#m] dear one ever [D] _ _ _ _ [B]
sang.
_ _ _ _ _ I've heard it too _ many times _ to ignore it.
[C#m] It's something _ that I'm _ [F#] close to _ _ _ being.
[G#] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
Someday [E] we'll find it, a [C#m] _
rainbow _ [F#m] _ connection.
But _
[Bm] _ lovers, _ _ [E] the _ dreamers, [A] they're deep. _ _ _
[E] All of [F#m] us are great _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
