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?”
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

For the not musically talented among us, any one figure out how to play the bridge part in the above default key/transposition thingie?
