This is a transposition of the version from the Muppets to G. I play this on ukulele, but this should be easy enough on guitar. The movie version starts in A and modulates to Bb after the bridge. If you want to modulate to Ab, the D7#5 can become an Eb. The intro is simple enough to figure out if you've heard it (fingerpicked G and C chords). Otherwise you can just strum G and C for a couple of measures. I haven't seen anyone using Gmaj7 on every other line of the verses, but that's what it sounds like to me. You can replace it with G. You can also replace a lot of Am7 with Am without much difference. The strumming pattern needs a slight swing.Was this info helpful?

[Verse 1]
G             Em      Am7         D
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
    Gmaj7         Em    Am7    D Dsus4 D
And what's on the other side
G            Em           Am7    D
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
    Gmaj7         Em         C
And rainbows have nothing to hide
 
Cmaj7
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
Bm7                                 B7
I know they're wrong, wait and see
 
Am7           D7           Bm7        E7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
    Am7         D7           G
The lovers, the dreamers and me
 
[Verse 2]
G             Em               Am7          D
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
Gmaj7            Em      Am7    D Dsus4 D
When wished on the morning star
G        Em                  Am7     D
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
G              Em      C
Look what it's done so far
 
Cmaj7
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
Bm7
And what do we think we might see
 
Am7           D7           Bm7     E7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
    Am7         D7           G
The lovers, the dreamers and me
 
[Bridge]
D         Em        G
All of us under its spell
   C              G        Am D7#5
We know that it's probably magic
 
[Verse 3]
G             Em               Am7            D
Have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices
Gmaj7           Em         Am7   D Dsus4 D
I've heard them calling my name
G           Em               Am7             D
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors
Gmaj7              Em7        C
The voice might be one in the same
 
Cmaj7
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
Bm7                                    B7
It's something that I'm supposed to be
 
Am7           D7           Bm7        E7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
    Am7         D7           G
The lovers, the dreamers and me
 
[Coda]
D        Em        G
La da da dee da da doo
   C        D         G
La da da da da dee da doo
