Here you go, Slickerbill.......Great song, drove my father to tears (but what didn't).
I play it in Am (C formation, no capo).
The G+ is what makes the song - I learned it from an old Cliff Edwards (Ukulele Ike) songbook. You could get fancier, but I play it like this:e-----| | |x|
A--O--| | | |
D--O--| | | |
G-----|x| | |
B--O--| | | |
E--O--| | | |

Over The Rainbow - Judy Garland
Lyrics by E.H. (Yip) Harburg, music by Harold Arlen
From the motion picture "The Wizard of Oz", 1939When all the world is a hopeless jumble,
And the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane.
When all the clouds darken up the skyway,
There's a rainbow highway to be found,
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun,
Just a step beyond the rain.[C]Some-[Am]where [Em]over the [C7]rainbow, [F]'way up [C]high, [C7]
[F]There's [Fm]a [C]land that I [A7]heard of [D7]once in a [G7]lulla-[C]by, [G]
[C]Some-[Am]where, [Em]over the [C7]rainbow, [F]skies are [C]blue, [C7]
[F]And [Fm]the [C]dreams that you [A7]dare to [D7]dream really [G7]do come [C]true.
Some [C]day I'll wish upon a star
And [Dm7]wake up where the [G]clouds are far be-[C]hind me, [Dm7][G7]
Where [C]troubles melt like lemon drops,
A-[Cdim]way above the chimney tops,
That's [G7]where [Cdim]you'll [Dm7]find [G+]me.Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow, why, then, oh, why can't I?
If all those little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow....
Why, oh, why, can't I?
