(Somewhere Over the Rainbow)
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?
(What a Wonderful World)

Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
F C E7 Am
I'll watch then bloom for me and you
F G Am F
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

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

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, ??How 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

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Line wrapping on overflow causes cords to appear over one another, which means you don't have enough line space on your device (try turning your phone/device sideways to see longer lines). And/or, in your app settings, turn off "Auto-fit".
