Guitar chords with lyrics

I am submitting this song as a final correction on other chording submissions of this song.
This version is a true representation of the progression that Izzy uses in the recorded version.
Sorry to those who came before, but there were just a few mistakes.
I took the time and really scrutinized the song and came up with this. Enjoy

G 	  D                C      G
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
C 	G			 D              Em	Csus2   C
And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby      Ahhhhhhhh!
G 	  D 		   C	      G
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
C 	G 			  D 			Em     Csus2   C
And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true   Oooooh!

G 			       D 			        Em     C
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me
      G
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
D 			       Em	    Csus2   C
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
G 	  D 		   C	      G
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
C	G 			    D 		      Em   Csus2   C
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why… oh why can't I?   Iiiiiii!

       G	    D	     C		G
Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
C		G	 B7	  Em
I'll watch then bloom for  me and you
  	C	      D			 Em	   C
And I think to myself…  what a wonderful world

          G	    D		   C         G
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
	C	      G   B7	        Em
and the brightness of day    I like the dark
      C		       D	           G	 C	G
and I think to myself,    what a wonderful world


    D 			     G
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
    D 		         G
are also on the faces of people passing by
      C 	      G 	     C 		G
I see friends shaking hands saying, "How do you do?"
C 	       G 	 Csus2 	        D
They're really saying,  "I…      I love you!"


       G      D 	C 	   G
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
C 		   G    B7 	     Em
They’ll learn much more   than we'll know
      C		        D		    Em		  C
And I think to myself,     what a wonderful world …       world.


G 			       D 				Em     C
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me
      G
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
D 			       Em	    Csus2   C
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
G 	  D 		   C	  G
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high,
C	G 			    D 		      Em   Csus2   C
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why… oh why can't I?   Iiiiii!


Oooooh….
G D C G
C B7 Em Csus2  C
Repeat and fade…
