The Rainbow Connection - Kermit the Frog (The Muppet Movie)
No Capo. Standard Tuning.
Wanted to make sure this song was done right, just like in the movie; key change
and all! One thing I like to occasionally do when I play this song is make the F#m
(and especially the Gm , after the key change) an F#m7 (or Gm7) to add a bit of
texture. It's also fun to throw in the occasional E7 during the verses. Try
playing around with it!
