Great song by Jerry Lee Lewis. The chords are changed from the original to fit his country
style of playing piano. The F#dim is optional, but it makes for a nice walkup. The C after the F#dim can also
be played as a C/G. No capo needed.
[Chorus]
C Em F F#dim C
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
F F#dim C A7
They're flying high over that old rainbow
D7 G7 C
I wonder why Lord, can't I?
C Em F F#dim C
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
F F#dim C A7 D7 G7 C
You know there's a land old Jerry dreamt of once in a lullaby
[Bridge 1]
C
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Dm G C
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
C
Where kisses are meltin’ like lemon drop
D7
High above the chimney tops
G7 Dm7 G7
That's where you'll find me
[Chorus]
C Em F F#dim C
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
F F#dim C A7
They’re flying high over the rainbow
D7 G7 C
I wonder why, why can’t I
