Chorus

[C]Somewhere [Em]over the rainbow

[F]Way up [C]high

[F]And the [C]dreams that you dream of

[G]Once in a lulla-[Am]by [F]

Oh [C]somewhere [Em]over the rainbow

[F]Blue birds [C]fly

[F]And the [C]dreams that you dream of

[G]Dreams really do come [Am]true [F]

Verse 1

Some[C]day I'll wish upon a star

And [G]wake up where the clouds are far be- [Am]hind [F]me

Where [C]trouble melts like lemon drops

[G]High above the chimney tops

That's [Am]where you'll [F]find me.

Chorus

Oh [C]somewhere [Em]over the rainbow

[F]Blue birds [C]fly

[F]And the [C]dreams that you dare to

[G]Why oh why can’t [Am]I? [F]

Bridge

Well I see[C]trees of [Em]green and [F]red roses [C]too

[F]I'll watch them [C]bloom for [E7]me and for [Am]you

And I [F]think to myself [G]what a wonderful [Am]world [F]

Well I see [C]skies of [Em]blue and [F]clouds of [C]white

And the [F]brightness of [C]day, [E7]I like the [Am]dark

And I [F]think to myself [G]what a wonderful [C]world [F] [C]

The [G]colours of the rainbow so [C]pretty in the sky

Are [G]also on the faces of [C]people passing by

I see [F]friends shaking [C]hands, saying [F]"How do you [C]do?"

[F]They're really [C]saying, [Dm7]I love [G]you.

I hear [C]babies [Em]cry, [F]I watch them [C]grow

[F]They'll learn much [C]more, than [E7]we'll ever [Am]know

And I [F]think to myself, [G]what a wonderful [Am]world, [F]world

Verse 2

Some[C]day I'll wish upon a star

And [G]wake up where the clouds are far be- [Am]hind [F]me

Where [C]trouble melts like lemon drops

[G]High above the chimney tops

That's [Am]where you'll [F]find me.

Chorus

Oh [C]somewhere [Em]over the rainbow

[F]Blue birds [C]fly

[F]And the [C]dreams that you dare to

[G]Why oh why can’t [Am]I? [F]
