Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Eric Clapton
Album: One More Car, One More Rider


Intro
E - C#7add9 - F#m7 - B7add9  (as many times as needed while he introduces the band)

E      C#m7  G#m7    Ebm7 E7
Somewhere over the rainbow
Amaj7  Eb7            G#m7  C#7add9
                  Way up high
F#m7     D7  G#m7       C#m7add9
     There’s a land that I heard of
F#m7         B7add9 E
   Once in a lullaby

(same as first)
Somewhere over the rainbow          
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

E 
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
F#m7                                 B7add9              G#m7    C#7add9  F#m7  B7add9
    And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
E
Where troubles melt like lemmondrops
Bbm7                    A#dim*
   Away above the chimney tops
          G#m7  C#7add9       F#m7     B7add9
That’s where,             you’ll find me
A#dim     Amaj7*  G#m7      C#m7 Bm7
      Somewhere      over the rainbow
Amaj7 Eb7            G#m7 C#7add9
               Bluebirds fly
F#m7   D7 G#m7 C#7add9
    Birds fly over the rainbow
F#m7             B7add9   E    B7add9
Why then, oh why can’t I?

Instrumental (same as first)

Someday I’ll wish.....(same as before)

F#m7            B7add9    C#m6* G#m7*
Why then, oh why can’t I?
F#m7   D7 G#m7     C#7add9
    Birds fly  over the rainbow
F#m7             B7add9   E
Why then, oh why can’t I?

  E
If happy little bluebirds fly
    F#m7
Beyond the rainbow
B7add9                E
Why, oh why cant I?

Why can’t I? (several times with intro chords)
