Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

  >>

  >>

 Somewhere over the rainbow way up high

  >>

 There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

  >>

  >>

 Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue

  >>

 And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

 Someday I'll wish upon a star

  >>

 and wake up where the clouds are far behind me

 Where troubles melt like lemon drops

 away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me

[break, then repeat second section]

  >>

  >>

 Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue

  >>

 And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

 If happy little bluebirds fly

 above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?

Notes:

This is from the CD "The Other Side" by Chuck Brown and

Eva Cassidy (Liaison Records cbd02263). It's the best cover of

"Over the Rainbow" I've ever heard. Her version has a lovely,

melancholy jazz/blues feel, played on a classical guitar with

a legato fingerpicking style.

Roman numerals in parentheses indicated the fret for a barred chord.

The ">>" notation means to "walk" from the first chord to the second:
