A classic song from the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz. Many ways to approach this! I’ll show you a few. Chords are below the video.

Capo 1!

G         Bm                C      G    
somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
C     Cm G           Em       Am        D    G    
theres a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

G         Bm                C        G    
somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
C   Cm  G               Em      Am           D       G         
and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true


Bridge:

G              
someday ill wish upon a star
    Am                                 Em       Am   D  
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
      G    
where troubles melt like lemon drops
  F#     
away above the chimney tops
      Bm           Am   D  
thats where you'll find me
G         Bm                C        G    
somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
C   Cm  G               Em      Am           D       G         
and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
