1. Some-where o- ver the rain-bow
2. Some-where o- ver the rain-bow

5 -7 7
1. way up high
2. skies are blue

5 -6 6
1. there’s a land
2. and the dreams

5 -5 6 -6
1. that I heard of
2. that you dare to

-5 -4 4 -5 6 5
1. once in a lull – a – by.
2. dream real-ly do come true.

7 6 7 6 7 6 7 6
Some-day I’ll wish up-on a star

7 -6 7 -6
and wake up where

7 -6 7 -6 7 -7 -7
the clouds are far be-hind me.

7 6 7 6 7 6 7 6
Where trou-bles melt like le-mon drops,

7 -6 7 -6 -7 -6 -7 -6
a- way a-bove the chim-ney tops,

7 -6 7 -7 -8
that’s where you’ll find me.

5 8 -8 7 -7 -8 8
Some-where o – ver the rain-bow

5 -7 7
blue-birds fly.

5 -6 6 5 -5 6 -6
Birds fly o-ver the rain-bow.

-5 -4 5 -5 6 5
Why, then oh why, can’t I?

7 6 7 6 7 6 7 6
If hap-py lit-tle blue-birds fly

7 -6 7 -6 7
beyond the rain-bow

-6 7 -7 -8 8
why, oh why, can’t I?
