Over the Rainbow

[mahayana]

C Em C F Fmaj7 C Cmaj7
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
F Fm C Cmaj7 Csus Dm G7 C Fmaj7 G6
there's a land that I heard of once in a lul-la-by.
C Em C F Fmaj7 C Cmaj7
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
F Fm C Cmaj7 Cusus Dm G7 C
and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
C Csus C6
Some day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
C B7 G
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away upon the chimney tops that's where
Bm7 Dm* G7
you'll find me.
C Em C F Fmaj7 C Cmaj7
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly.
F Fm C Cmaj7 Csus Dm G7 C
Birds fly over the rainbow. Why then, oh why can't I?
C Csus Dm Famj7 Fmaj7(b5) C
If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow why, oh why can't I?

Just a simple intro the tune. There are chord-melody arrangements and some u-tube videos that I'll post links for in appropriate sections.

I think of 'Over the Rainbow' as a new standard. There've been lots of covers by jazz artists since Eva C's "folk" version got so much airplay a few years back.
