Somewhere Over The Rainbow
This song I imagine has been done by everyone from Ella Fitzgerald and Judy Garland to Willie Nelson.
I even heard a different than normal take on it from a Hawaiian named Israel Kamakawiwo'ole that
sounds pretty cool. This is my take on it for the acoustic guitar and walking bass.
Keep up the good work gvaughn@roughstock.com

Intro (finger pick the melody) G Am7 Em D7
(Strum this song like a slow walking bass)
G ÊÊEm Am7 D7
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
ÊG Em ÊAm7 D7
And the raindrops tumble all around
G Em Am7 ÊD7 G Em Am7 D7
Heaven ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊopens a magic lane
G Em Am7 D7 When all the clouds darken up the skyway
G Em Am7 D7 There's a rainbow highway to be found
Em Am7 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊD7
Leading from your windowpane
(this part is out of time)
Em Bm To a place behind the sun
Am7 D D7 Just a step beyond the rain
G Em ÊÊBm ÊÊÊÊG7 C Adim Bm G7
Some~where over the rainbow, way up high
C ÊAdim G Em ÊÊAm7 D7 G D7
Theres a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
G Em Bm G7 C Adim Bm E7 Some~where ÊÊÊover the Êrainbow ÊÊÊÊskies are ÊÊblue
C Adim G Em Am7 ÊÊD7 G D7
And the dreams that you ÊÊÊÊÊdare to dream really do come true
G Someday I'll wish upon a star
Am7 D7 G Am7 D7 And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
G Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Am7 Cm7 ÊBm7 ÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊD7
away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me
G Em ÊBm G7 ÊC Adim Bm G7
Some~where over the rainbow, blue birds fly
C Adim G Em Am7 D7 G Bm7 Am7 D7 G Bm7 Am7 D7 G Birds fly over the ÊÊÊrainbow ÊÊÊÊÊwhy then oh ÊÊÊÊÊÊwhy can't ÊÊÊI
Willie Nelson
