This is from the CD "The Other Side" by Chuck Brown and Eva Cassidy (Liaison Records cbd02263). It's the best cover of "Over the Rainbow" I've ever heard. Her version has a lovely, melancholy jazz/blues feel, played on a classical guitar with a legato fingerpicking style.
Roman numerals in parentheses indicated the fret for a barred chord.
The ">>" notation means to "walk" from the first chord to the second:
