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:

and wished on a morning star?
G        Em                  C         D
