C         Em              
Somewhere over the rainbow
F      C   
Way up high
F       C                       
And the dreams that you dream of
G              Am      F       
Once in a lullaby-y-y ... y-y-y
     C        Em              
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
F          C  
Blue birds fly
F       C

Dreams really do come true-ue-ue ... ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse]
    C                        
Someday I'll wish upon a star
G                                  Am       F     
Wake up where the clouds are far behind ... me-e-e
      C                             
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
G                          
High above the chimney tops
       Am               F        
That's where ... you'll fi-ind me

[Chorus]
    C         Em              
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
F          C  
Blue birds fly
F       C                     
And the dream that you dare to
   G                 Am      F         
Oh why, oh why can't I-I-I ... Ah-ah-ay

[Verse]
    C                        
Someday I'll wish upon a star
G                                  Am       F     
Wake up where the clouds are far behind ... me-e-e
      C                             
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
G                          
High above the chimney tops
       Am               F        
That's where ... you'll fi-ind me

[Chorus]
    C         Em              
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
F      C   
Way up high
F       C                      
And the dreams that you dare to
G                 Am     F          
Why, oh why can't I-I-I ... Ah-ah-ay
