Harold Arlen with lyrics by E.Y. Harburg Performed by Ella Fitzgerald 4/4 [Intro] | G# | C#/G# | F/G# | D#7 | [Verse]

G#                        C#
 When all the world is a hopeless jumble,

         G#maj7                 A#m7    D#7
 And the raindrops tumble all around,

 G#     Adim7   A#m7        A#dim7    G#    (A#m7 - D#7)
 Hea - ven      opens  a   magic    lane.

G#                           C#
 When all the clouds darken up the skyway,

           G#maj7                 Gm7  -  C7
 There's a rainbow highway to be found,

 Fm       C#7        A#7     A#m7
 Leading  from your window pane.

G#                      A#m7
 To a place behind the sun,

G#              G#dim7    A#m7     (D#7)
 Just a step beyond the rai  -   ain.

[Chorus]

 G#         Cm        G#
 Somewhere o-ver the rainbow

|C#   /   C#maj7  C#7  (  Cm7  G#  Cm7  Adim7  )
 Way     up            high,

 C#6       C#m6  G#           Adim7
 There's  a    land that I heard of,

 A#7        A#m    D#7  ( G#   /  A#m7  D#7  )
 Once in a lul - la -  bye.

  G#        Cm            G#
 Somewhere o-ver the rainbow,

|C#     /    C#maj7  C#7  (  Cm7  G#  Cm7  Adim7  )
 Skies      are           blue,

 C#6  C#m6  G#               Adim7   A#7
 And the  dreams that you dare to  dream,

         A#m  D#7    G#
 Really  do  come  true.

[Bridge]

     G#
Some-day day I'll wish upon a star,

    A#m7                          D#7    G#6 (D#  C#  G#  D#7)
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.    (Where)

      G#
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,

    Fdim7
A - way above the chimney tops,

     ( A#m6   /  G#m    Fdim7  )  A#m7   D#aug
That's where    you'll          find  me.

[Chorus]

       G#   Cm            G#7
Some-where o-ver the rainbow,

 C#  /  C#maj7  C#7  (  Cm7  G#  Cm7  Adim7  )
Blue    birds         fly,

 C#6   C#m6  G#         Adim7
Birds fly   over the rainbow,

A#7           A#m   D#7  ( G#    D#7  )
Why then, oh why can't  I?

[Instrumental] G# Cm G#7 C#/C#maj7 C#7 ( Cm7 G# Cm7 Adim7 ) C#6 C#m6 G# Adim7 A#7 A#m D#7 ( G# D#7 [Bridge]

      G#
Some-day day I'll wish upon a star,

    A#m7                          D#7     G#6 ( D#  C#  G#  D#7 )
And wake up where the clouds are far behind  me.    (Where)

 D#7     G#
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,

   Fdim7
A - way above the chimney tops,

      ( A#m6  /  G#m   Fdim7  )   A#m7  D#aug
That's where   you'll          find  me.

[Chorus]

G#           Cm             G#7
 Some-where o-ver the rain-bow,

 C#    /  C#maj7  C#7  (  Cm7  G#  Cm7  Adim7  )
 Blue    birds         fly,

 C#6    C#m6  G#         Adim7
 Birds fly   over the rainbow,

 A#7           A#m  D#7    G#
 Why, then oh why can't I?

[Bridge]

   G#
If happy little bluebirds fly

  A#m7
Beyond the rainbow

       D#7        G#6
Why oh why can't I?
