The Muppets are a group of puppets and costume characters, and the company created by Jim Henson. Individually, a Muppet is properly any one of the puppets built by the Jim Henson Workshop. Though the term is often used erroneously to refer to any puppet that resembles the distinctive style of The Muppet Show and Sesame Street characters, the term is both an informal name and legal trademark linked to the characters created by The Jim Henson Company.

Transpose 2 half steps down for an easier version.
Transposed +3 is even easier.
Where’s the key change :(
I like to play this in C major, so for the tab I just do G C E C E C A C F if I remember the song well enough. It sounds nice and is so simple. (I am awful at writing tablature, but it’s easy to pick up if you’ve heard this song recently.) :-)
rest in peace Jim Henson :(
What about the part that goes “All of us under its spell, we know that it’s probably magic?”
The lyrics on this are incorrect, as with many songs on this website. I don’t know how they get the lyrics so wrong, but somehow they do.
It’s to do with copyright, they can’t use exactly the same lyrics so they miss things out etc.
I second the +3, but here are better lyrics. Still working on the key change.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
And what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it
I know they’re wrong, wait and see.
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it,
and look what it’s done so far.
What’s so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell,
we know that it’s probably magic….
Have you been half asleep
and have you heard voices?
I’ve heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it.
It’s something that I’m supposed to be.
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa
I play it at +5 then the following as the key change
Em Gbm7 A7 Bm D
All of us under its spell, we know that it’s probably
E F
ma—-gic
then play it at +6 for the third verse with the song ending
Fm Gm7 Bb7 Eb Cm
La da da di da da dum da duh da da dum di da
Eb
ohh
For the not musically talented among us, any one figure out how to play the bridge part in the above default key/transposition thingie?
Thank you for posting this song!
Please repost it with ALL of the words.
on a technicality, Gbm is not in the key of A major instead it should be F#m which do sound the same and the same fingering.
Same as the Dbm is not in the A major key, it would be replaced with C#m
Sah mis tios.
the last bm sounds better a D
Is there a certain strumming pattern? I can’t seem to figure it out
a good strumming pattern would be a 3/4 pattern. I used down down up down up.
down would be a whole note for one count and then the two down ups will be eighth notes.
i use down down up down up down up down so the same thing i just add another up down to the last down
I play it +6 by playing the +5 chords with a capo on the first fret, and strumming pattern I use down down-up-down-up as it’s 3/4
The lyrics are pretty wrong just sayin
