Somewhere Over The Rainbow  Chords by Eric Clapton

Somewhere Over The Rainbow chords by Eric Clapton (Ver. 2)

Guitar chords with lyrics

This is my impression of what I thought I heard Eric Clapton playing live in concert.
A soulful bluesy rendition is played in a 2 chop per chord method.
This revision could be a good challenge to a novice player but should be playable
by most intermediate players.

Intro: E  C#9  F#m7  B9
repeats many times while introducing band members


E   C#m7  G#m7     Ebm7 Eaug   A    Eb7  G#m7 C#9
Somewhere over the rain bow    Way  Up   High----

F#m7   D9  G#m7           C#9      F#m7      B9   E   A(alt)  B
Theres a   land that I've heard of once in a lullaby

E   C#m7  G#m7     Ebm7 Eaug   A     Eb7  G#m7 C#9
Somewhere over the rain bow    Skies are  blue----

F#m7 D9   G#m7            C#9     F#m7         B9      E
and  the  dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

     E
Some day I'll wish upon a star and

F#m7              B9               G#m7  C#9 F#m7 B9
wake up where the clouds are far behind  me---------

      E
Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Bbm7           Eb9
Away above the chimney tops

       G#m7  C#9    F#m7  B9
That's where you'll find  me

E   C#m7  G#m7     Ebm7 Eaug  A     Eb7    G#m7 C#9
Somewhere over the rain bow   blue  birds  fly-----

F#m7   D7  G#m7     C#9
Birds  fly over the rainbow

F#m7         B9        G#m7 C#9
Why then, oh why can't I------?

F#m7   D7  G#m7     C#9
Birds  fly over the rainbow

F#m7         B9        E
Why then, oh why can't I?

   E                          F#m7
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow

B9                 E  C#9  F#m7  B9
Why, oh, why can't I?

E  C#9  F#m7  B9
repeat
