Somewhere Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World
by: Israel Kamakawiwo`ole
(In movies like : Finding Forrester and Joe Black)


 

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 lul-la-by
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
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the
G                Am   Am   F   F
clouds are far behind   me
      C                  C
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
G              G                     Am     Am       F    F
High above the chi-mn-ey tops that's 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        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          F     G        G         Am     Am  F  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   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               C              F          C
I see friends shaking hands saying, "How do you do?"
F              C       Dm7  Dm7        G    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
      F                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?

Hi Hapa Uke,

If you're new to playing the uke just giving it 1 strum each time a new chord is called for is a good way to get started. As you progress you can add various strums as you learn them. There's no one way of doing things -- that's why we all sound different. Good luck with your playing.

Hey Rich thanks for posting these chords. Not big on covers but if you play live somebody is going to ask for this one sooner or later, and it's a nice diversion from Tip Toe!
