Subject: Over the Rainbow a'la Good Will Hunting From: GUEST,Slickerbill Date: 14 Jun 02 - 01:43 PM If you've seen the film Good Will Hunting, the last scene where Matt Damon drives off has a sound track which is great; it's a version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on ukulele and this really beautiful voice. Some guy I've heard is big with the Uke crowd, I hear. Anyhoo, I'm wondering if anyone out there has worked it out on guitar. There's such a nice sounding progression there that fits the lyric so well. Anyone?? SB |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Over the Rainbow a'la Good Will Hu From: GUEST,Slickerbill Date: 14 Jun 02 - 02:09 PM Yeah, that's not bad; the chords are handy. Thanks. But if you listen to the version I'm talking about, there are these really beautiful chord voicings, which I imagine could be played way up the neck to get a bit of that uke feel. I'm just too busy/lazy to figure it out for myself I guess, but I figure, hey if some 'catter out there's done the work, why not ask? So keep em coming. SB |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Over the Rainbow a'la Good Wil From: GUEST Date: 14 Jun 02 - 02:33 PM The chords are a bit off, as are some of the melody notes in the tab--Some of us wish you'd check the stuff you post, Sorcha--this isn't the first time-- |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Over the Rainbow a'la Good Will Hu From: Sorcha Date: 14 Jun 02 - 02:42 PM I can't check it if I don't know it; I just do the best I can.............After all, they could go out searching on their own! |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Over the Rainbow a'la Good Will Hu From: GUEST,alinact Date: 14 Jun 02 - 02:56 PM This is more an attempt at me trying a blue clicky, but i just did a search and found this: |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Over the Rainbow a'la Good Wil From: GUEST Date: 14 Jun 02 - 02:57 PM But the tab isn't right, even for the regular version of the song--but you are a right, they could do a search on their own--the singer was Israel Kamaka wiwo ole(Iz) and there is plenty about him, both on the web and in Mudcat(try the seach engine at the top of the page on the left)-- |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Over the Rainbow a'la Good Will Hu From: GUEST,Slickerbill Date: 14 Jun 02 - 04:07 PM Thanks for the name. Did the search and found the tune. I'm still wondering if someone's figured it out on guitar though. See what happens. SB |

Lyrics by E.H. (Yip) Harburg, music by Harold Arlen From the motion picture "The Wizard of Oz", 1939
When all the world is a hopeless jumble,
[C]Some-[Am]where [Em]over the [C7]rainbow, [F]'way up [C]high, [C7]
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,
Beyond the rainbow.... Why, oh, why, can't I? |
