C C Em Em F F C C
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
F F C C G G Am Am F F
And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby
C C Em Em F F C C
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
F F C C G G Am Am F F
And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true
C C G G Am Am F F
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me
C C
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
G G Am Am F F
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
C C Em Em F F C C
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
F F C C G G Am Am F F
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
C C Em Em F F C C
Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
F F C C E7 E7 Am Am
I'll watch then bloom for me and you
F F G G Am Am F F
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
C C Em Em F F C C F F C C
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white and the brightness of day
E7 E7 Am Am F F G G C C F F C C
I like the dark and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
G G C C
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
G G C C
are also on the faces of people passing by
F F C C F F C C
I see friends shaking hands saying, ??How do you do?
F F C C Dm7 Dm7 G G
They're really saying, I, I love you
C C Em Em F F C C
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
F F C C E7 E7 Am Am
They'll learn much more than we'll know
F F G G Am Am F F
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
C C G G Am Am F F
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me
C C
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
G G Am Am F F
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
C C Em Em F F C C
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
F F C C G G Am Am F F
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?

C C C C Em Em Em Em F F F F C C C C
ooh... ooh...
