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.

C          F   C     Am      Dm
This looks familiar, vaguely familiar

C      F      C         Am          Dm
Almost unreal yet, it's too soon to feel yet

F           G             Em     A
Close to my soul, and yet so far away

I'm going to go back there someday




C             F    C    Am            Dm
Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls

Is that a song there, and do I belong there?

F          G               Em         A
I've never been there, but I know the way

I'm going to go back there someday

Am            D             G
We'll both be completely at home in mid-air

Em                Gbm          Bm          Bm7
We're flying, not walking, on featherless wings

We can hold on to love like invisible strings

There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met

C            F    C         Am           Dm
Part heaven, part space, or have I found my place?

You can just visit, but I plan to stay

I got cabin fever it's burning in my brain
                                        Eb
I've got cabin fever it's driving me insane
                                          Bb7
We got cabin fever, we're flipping our bandanas
                                                Eb
Been stuck at sea so long we have simply gone bananas

We got cabin fever we've lost what sense we had
                                    E
We got cabin fever, we're all going mad

E
Grab your partner by the ears
                B
Lash him to the wheel

Do-si-do step on his toe
              E
Listen to him squeal

Allemande left, allemande right
                     A
It's time to sail or sink

Swing your partner over the side
B               E
Drop him in the drink

Gb
We got cabin fever
                   Db
No if's, and's, or but's

We're disoriented

And then it died

E
I've got cabin fever

I think I've lost my grip

I'd like to get my hands on
                   E
Whoever wrote this script   Si!

D
I was floating 'neath a tropic moon
                         A
And dreaming of a blue lagoon

Now I'm crazy as a loon

A               E
Cabin fever has ravaged all aboard
     B                              E
This once proud vessel has become a floating psycho ward
         A               E
We were sailing, sailing headed who knows where
    B
And now though we're all here
              E
We're not all there

Cabin fever! Ahh!

What do they we think we might see?

Someday we'll find it

Have you been half asleep?

And have you heard the voices
A                    F#m        D    E7
Well I've heard them calling my name
A           F#m              D               E7
Is this the sweet sounds that called the young sailors?
A               F#m          D    E7
I think they're one and the same

The Rainbow Connection

(Verse 1)
G          C   G
This looks familiar 
Em      A
Vaguely familiar
G        C     G 
Almost unreal yet 
     Em          A
It's too soon to feel yet
Am          D   
Close to my soul 
        Bm      E
and yet so far away
    Am          D              G
I'm going to go back there someday


(Verse 2)
G         C     G 
Sun rises night falls 
Em             A
sometimes the sky calls
G         C    G 
Is that a song there 
    Em      A
And do I belong there?
Am         D 
I've never been there
    Bm          E
But I know the way
    Am          D              G
I'm going to go back there someday


(Bridge)
Em          A             D
Come and go with me it's more fun to share
Em               A          D
We'll both be completely at home in midair
      E          C#m        F#m          Em
We're flyin' not walkin' on featherless wings
       D         C         Am        D
We can hold onto love like invisible strings


(Verse 3)
G             C    G 
There's not a word yet 
    Em                 A
For old friends who've just met
G           C     G 
Part heaven part space
   Em           A
Or have I found my place?
Am           D 
You can just visit 
    Em        E
But I plan to stay.
    Am          D              G
I'm going to go back there someday
    Am          D              G
I'm going to go back there someday

Muppet Babies Theme

Intro: D Em D G D G
G                                           D
When I was just a lad looking for my true vocation 
   B                G                F#m             D
My father said "Now son, this choice deserves deliberation 
       B                Em      D         F#m  G
Though you could be a doctor or perhaps a financier 
   C                           D           B
My boy why not consider a more challenging career 

Bm  Em
Hey ho ho 
Em               F#m     G       
You'll cruise to foreign shores 
G                             D             C              G         
And you'll keep your mind and body sound by working out of doors 
     A                                 E
True friendship and adventure are what we can't live without 
    Am               Bm          C           G        D     G
And when you're a professional pirate that's what the job's about
B            Em
Upstage lads, this is my only number
F#m          G                              D
Now take Sir Francis Drake, the Spanish all despise him 
           G                            D
But to the British he's a hero and they idolize him 
             E       Em              D                 G
It's how you look at buccaneers that makes them bad or good 
    G                        D            G
And I see us as members of a noble brotherhood 
D   Em
Hey ho ho 
      F#m       G
We're honorable men 
                       D                               G
And before we lose our tempers we will always count to ten 
   Am                                Em
On occasion there may be someone you have to execute 
    Am          Bm           C
But when your a professional pirate 
C                  G          B  Em
You don't have to wear a suit..... what? 
F Em
I could have been a surgeon 
Em
I like taking things apart 
Em 
I could have been a lawyer 
      Am
But I just had too much heart 
  G                  Am
I could have been in politics 
Am         Bm                C
Cause I've always been a big spender 
    C    D                             Am E
And me...I could have been a contender 
G                                                    D
Some say that pirates steal and should be feared and hated 
B/Bb                   C              A         D        
I say we're victims of bad press it's all exaggerated 
Ebm                               F#m              G            
We'd never stab you in the back, we'd never lie or cheat 
      C              G                 D            G
We're just about the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet 

Speech (Humming) Chords:  Em D G G D G A
Em
Hey ho ho 
     D               G
It's one for all for one 
G                         D                                  G
And we'll share and share alike with you and love you like a son 
Am                                    Em
We're gentlemen of fortune and that's what we're proud to be 
    D             G          C
And when your a professional pirate 
          D
You'll be honest brave and free 
D
The soul of decency 
          G
You'll be loyal and fair and on the square 
    C
And most importantly 
G                          C
When you're a professional pirate 
   D                              G      D   G
You're always in the best of company

And rainbow have nothing to hide

(Pre-chorus)
Am7           Am9         Am7         Am9
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
Bm7            Bm11            Bm7   Bm11   Bm7  Bbm7     
I know they're wrong, wait and see

(Chorus)
Am7           D7
Someday we'll find it
    Bm7        E7
The rainbow connection
     Am7         D7           G   Dsus7  G  Dsus7
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

(Verse)
G             Em               Am           D7
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
    G              Em      C       Dsus7
When wished on the morning star
G         Em                  Am        D7
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it
    G              Em      C 
And look what it's done so far

(Pre-chorus)
Am7            Am9         Am7         Am9
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
Bm7            Bm11           Bm7   Bm11   Bm7  Bbm7 
And what do we think we might see

(Chorus)
Am7           D7
Someday we'll find it
    Bm7        E7
The rainbow connection
     Am7         D7           G   Dsus7  G  Dsus7
The lovers, the dreamers, and

(Bridge)
All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic

G             Em               Am             D7
Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices
    G           Em         C     Dsus7
I've heard them calling my name
G           Em              Am               D7
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors
    G              Em          C 
The voice might be one and the same

(Pre-chorus)
Am7             Am9     Am7          Am9
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
Bm7                Bm11           Bm7   Bm11   Bm7  Bbm7 
It?s something that I'm s'posed to be

(Chorus/outro)
Am7           D7
Someday we'll find it
    Bm7        E7
The rainbow connection
     Am7         D7           G
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

(As Sung by Gonzo the Great)

   D             Bm               G           D
I wish I had a coat of silk, the color of the sky
   D            Bm           G         A
I wish I had a lady fare as any butterfly
   Bm          D                     G                 D
I wish I had a house of stone, that looked down on the sea
    D               Bm                G                D
But most of all , I wish that I,  was someone else but me

    D              Bm                G                 D
Now I don't have a coat of silk, but still I have the sky
    D             Bm               G            A
Now I don't have a lady, but there goes a butterfly
    Bm             D                   G             D
And I don't have a house of stone, but I can see the sea
    D             Bm                G           D
And most of all, I know that I, am happy to be me
    G           D
I'm happy to be me

Wishing Song

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

Chorus:  Down by the ri-ver,  I shot my ba-by

 Em        A
 Ooh, Ooh, shot her dead


Verse 2:You take my hand I'll take your hand, together we may get away,

        This must madness is too much sorrow, its impossible to make it

        today... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away


(Chorus)

           A
from all we shared together.

I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A

to remind yourself that you forgot
