RAINBOW CONNECTION - 5-string banjo Note: this isn't the original Muppets arrangement. The original version is played on a 4-sting banjo, which is tuned differently than a 5-string. This version is easier to play on a 5-string and is tabbed from an arrangement I found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlkdGVisPhs Chords: G [x0000] Em [x2002] C [x2012] D [x0234] Em/G [x5455] D3/F# [x4x34] C6/A [x7555] D/A [x7777] Bm7 [x9777] E/B [x9999] Am7 [x5557] D6/A [x7779] Eb [xx345] Ab [x1111] Fm [x3113] C# [x3123] Fm/Ab [x6566] Eb3/G [x5x45] C#6/A# [x8666] Eb/Bb [x8888] Cm7 [x10888] F/C [x10101010] Bbm7 [x6668] Eb6/B [x88810] INTRO: D------0----0-------0----| B------0----0-------1----| Play 4 times then through the verse chords G---0-----0------0-------| D-0------------2---------| G------------------------| Verse 1: G Em C D Why are there so many songs about rainbows, G Em C D and what's on the other side?
