Eva Marie Cassidy foi uma cantora norte-americana de vários estilos musicais: jazz, blues, folk, gospel e pop music. Apesar de tímida, era dona de voz expressiva e intérprete única que comovia como o fez com Sting, ao ouvir sua canção ‘Fields of Gold’ cantada por ela. Eva morreu prematuramente, aos 33 anos, vítima de câncer e a sua música foi postumamente promovida por um disc jockey da BBC, e surpreendentemente, tornou-se sucesso na Inglaterra.

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:
