C     Em        F   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     Em        F     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     Em        F     C
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
F    C              G         Am   F
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
      C    Em    F      C
Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
F        C     Em   F
I'll watch then bloom for me and you
   F        G        Am   F
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
      C    Em       F     C       F       C
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white and the brightness of day
E7     Am     F        G        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?
F       C    Dm7       G
They're really saying, I,   I love you
    C   Em    F     C
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
F         C   E7    Am
They'll learn much more than we'll know
   F        G        Am
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     Em        F   C
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
F    C              G         Am   F
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
