<![CDATA[Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World
composer: E.V. Harburg/Harold Arlen
performed by: Israel Kamakawiwo`ole
C G am C
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
F C G Am F
And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby
C G am C
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
F C G Am F
And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true
C G Am F
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me
C
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
G Am F
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
C G am C
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
F C G Am F
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I?
C G am C
Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
F C G
I'll watch then bloom for me and you
am F C F
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
C G am C F C
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white and the brightness of day
G am F C F C
I like the dark and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
G C
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
G C
are also on the faces of people passing by
F C F C
I see friends shaking hands saying, ³How do you do?²
F C Dm G7
They're really saying, ³I, I love you²
C G am C
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
F C G Am
theyıll learn much more than we'll know
F G Am F
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
C G Am F
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me
C
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
G Am F
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
C G am C
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
F C G Am F
Birds fly,over the rainbow, why then oh why can't I
