Lyrics and chords in the key of G

  • If you have a bit lower voice like myself, you might try singing in the key of G like this:
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                        D                      Em     C
And those dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true ... ooo
G
Some day I'll wish upon a star
    D                                  Em   C
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
      G
where trouble melts like lemon drops
    D                                  Em           C
and high above the chiminey 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 if those bluebirds can fly there, why oh why can't I ... I

G              Bm        C         G
I see trees of green and red roses too
C               G         B7     Em
I'll watch them bloom for me and you,
     C               D                 Em        C
and I think to myself what a wonderful world ... world.
      G        Bm             C         G
I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
        C             G            B7          Em
and the brightness of day, well ... I like the night
     C               D                 Em        C
and I think to myself what a wonderful world ... world.
    D             D           Em-G
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
    D            D           Em-G
are also on the faces of the people passing by
     Em-C             Bm-G          Em-C        Bm-G
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "How do you do?"
Em-C       Bm-G     C              D
Their really saying, "I ... I love you."
       G      D        Em-C         G
I hear babies cry, and I watch them grow ...
C                  G    B7             Em
They'll learn much more, than we will know,
     C               D                 Em        C
And I think to myself what a wonderful world ... world.

Some day I'll wish upon a star and wake up
where the clouds are far behind me
where trouble melts like lemon drops
and high above the chiminey top that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the the rainbow, bluebirds fly
And those dreams that you dream of,  why oh why can't I ... I

ooooooo ...
