G Em Bm Bm Bbdim Am7 C/D G G7
Somewhere Over the Rainbow Way Up High
C Cm G E Am6 Am6/D G
There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby
G Em Bm Bm Bbdim Am7 C/D G G7
SomeWhere over the rainbow skies are blue

and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
πΈ Chorus:
G
Some day I'll wish upon a start and
Am7 D9 Bm7 E9 Am7 D9
wake up where the clouds are far behind me
G
where troubles melt like lemon drops
C#m7 F#7
away above the chimney tops
Bm7 E7 Am7 D7
tha's where you'll find me

Birds fly over the rainbow why then oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
