G G Bm C G
Somewhere over the the rainbow, way up high
C G D Em C
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby ... I
G G Bm C G
Somewhere over the the rainbow, bluebirds fly
C G
And the dreams that you dream of,
D Em C
dreams really do come true ... ooo

G
Some day I'll wish upon a star
D Em C
wake up where the clouds are far behind me
G
where trouble melts like lemon drops
D Em C
and high above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
G G Bm C G
Somewhere over the the rainbow, bluebirds fly
C G D Em C
And the dreams that you dare to .. oh why oh why can't I ... I
And if those bluebirds can fly there, why oh why can't I ... I
