Chords

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
