Over the Rainbow - Eric Clapton
chart by Phil Ford

|:E C#m |F#m B :|

E C#m G#m7
Somewhere over the rainbow-
A A7 E C#m
way up high
A Am E C#m

there's a land that I heard of
F#m B E B7
once in a lullaby

[Verse 2]-------------------------------------

E C#m G#m7
Somewhere over the rainbow-
A A7 G#m C#m
skies are blue
A Am E C#m
and the dreams that you dare to dream
F#m B E B7
really do come true

[Chorus]==============================================
E F#m7
Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far
G#m C#m F#m B
behind me
E D#7
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops
G#m7 C#m F#m7 B
that's where you'll find me

[Verse 3]---------------------------------------

A#m7b5 D#7 G#m7
Some - where over the rainbow -

A A7 E E7
blue birds fly
A Am E C#m
birds fly over the rainbow,
F#m B E B7
why Oh, why can't I?

[Short Instrumental]-----------------------------

Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far

that's where you'll find me

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, [slow]
