Somewhere over the rainbow way up high

And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
F C G Am F
And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

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

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

And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
