Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World

Intro

C  Em  Am  F
C  Em  Am  Am9  F  F

C C Em Em F F C C
ooh...    ooh...
F F E7 E7 Am Am F F
ooh...    ooh...

C         Em               F      C
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high   
F       C                        G              Am     F
And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby 
C         Em               F          C
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly  
F       C               G                               Am   F
And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true 
    C                          G                                  Am     F
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me 
      C
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
G                              Am           F
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         E7     Am
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 colours 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
       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     F
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
C                              G                                  Am    F
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me 
       C
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
G                              Am           F
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
C         Em               F      C
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
F       C                           G                 Am     F
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?

C C Em Em F F C C
ooh...    ooh...

F F E7 E7 Am Am F F
ooh...    ooh eeh aa uh uh....

I can't seem to find a version of the song where "IZ" ends with that solo bit that you've got on the end. Did you come up with that on your own? If not mind showing me the version where he ends on that? Thanks! :]

Excellent tab. One comment though - I'm pretty sure the A9 you have in the intro should be an Am7. Thanks for the tab!
