B Ebm
Somewhere over the rainbow
E B
Way up high
E Em B
And the dreams that you dream of
F# G#m E
Once in a lullaby
B Ebm E
Somewhere over the rainbow
B
Blue birds fly
E Em B
And the dreams that you dream of,
F# G#m E
Dreams really do come true
B
Someday I'll wish upon a star
F# G#m E
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
B
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
F# G#m E
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
B Ebm E B
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
E Em B F# G#m E
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
B F# G#m B
Well I see trees of green and Red roses too,
E B Eb7 G#m
I'll watch then bloom for me and you
E
And I think to myself
F# G#m E
What a wonderful world
B F# E B
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
E B
And the brightness of day
Eb7 G#m
I like the dark
E
And I think to myself
F# G#m E
What a wonderful world
F# G#m
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
F# G#m
Are also on the faces of people passing by
E B
I see friends shaking hands
E B
Saying, "How do you do?"
E B E F#
They're really saying, I...I love you
B F# E B
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
E B
They'll learn much more
Eb7 G#m
Than we'll know
E
And I think to myself
F# G#m E
What a wonderful world
B
Someday I'll wish upon a star
F# G#m E
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
B
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
F# G#m E
High above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
B Ebm E B
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
E Em B F# G#m E B
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
