Kidzapalooza The Rainbow Connection

[War End]

We all know how cool it was when Jim played the "Rainbow Connection"  (can't get that melody out of my head)....and I researched the tabs on the net but they don't seem right.  I'd like to play it on my guitar for my kids even though it sounds best on banjo.  I know there are some talented players out there...I need tabs for guitar that are the real deal....the right key etc.  Maybe it just takes a capo on the correct fret?
Thanks.

hey War End, I'm sitting down as we speak to try to tab it out the way jim played it.  i looked it up online and the tabs available look like chords taken from the piano sheet music. hopefully i'll have something for you shortly.

here you go W.E.

Rainbow Connection:

The intro is A  Asus A sus

A             F#m     Bm          E
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
   A             F#m   D
and what's on the other side?
A            F#m          Bm   E
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
   A               F#m           D
and rainbows have nothing to hide

Dmaj7
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
C#m7
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Bm7             E          C#m7    F#
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
Bm            E            A
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
Look what it's done so far

What's so amazing that keeps us star-gazing?  
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

A/G#         F#m           E
All of us under its spell
  D               D/C#     E F  
We know that it's probably magic

Bb             Gm             Cm           F
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
Bb             Gm          Eb
I've heard them calling my name
Bb          Gm               Cm              F
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
   Bb             Gm          Eb
The voice might be one and the same

Ebmaj7
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
Dm7
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Cm7           F            Dm7     G
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
Cm7             F          Bb
The lovers, the deamers and me

Bb    Gm       F
La da da de da da do
  Eb       F        Bb
La da da da da de da do
