[Ab] [Db] [Ab] [Fm] [G] [Cm]
[G] [Bbm] [Am] [Eb]
[Ab] When [Fm] all the world is a hopeless [A]
[Bbm] jumble [Fm] and the raindrops tumble [Bbm] all [C] around,
[G] [Fm] heaven [Gb] [Db] opens [Eb] a [Fm] magic [Cm] lane.
[Db] When [Gbm]
[A] [Bb] [Fm] all the clouds [Bbm] darken up the skyway, [Ab] there's a rainbow [Fm] highway to be [Eb] found.
[Bb] [Fm] [Ab] Leading [Bbm] from [E] [Ab] your window [Bbm] pane,
[Eb] to a place behind [Bbm] the sun, just a step beyond the [Db] [Eb] [Abm] [A] rain,
[Fm] [G] somewhere [Cm] [Em] [Bb]
[Db] [F] way [Bbm] up [Ab] [Eb] high,
[Db] [E] there's [Ebm] a [Cm] [Eb] land that I heard [G] of [Fm] once [Db] in a [Fm] [Bbm] lullaby.
[E] [Ab] [Fm] Somewhere [Db] [Cm] over [Bbm] [Db] the [Fm] rainbow, [Db] the [G] skies [Ebm] are [Gbm] blue,
[F] [Bbm] [Gb] and the [Ab] [Dbm] dreams that [Cm] you [Eb] dare to [D] dream [Bbm] really [Db] do [Ab] come true.
Someday I'll wish [Eb] upon [Fm] a star [Bbm] and wake up where the clouds are [Ab] far behind [Bbm] me.
Where [Ab] troubles melt like lemon [Fm] drops, [F] away above the chimney tops,
[Cm] that's [E] where [Bbm] you'll find [A]
me.
[Ab] [D] Somewhere [G] [Cm] [Bbm] over [A] the [Ab] rainbow, [Db] [Bbm] [C] bluebirds [Eb] fly.
[A] [Db] Birds [Ab] fly [G] over [Gb] the [Abm] rainbow, [Fm] why?
Then [Bbm] oh [Eb] why can't [F] I?
[Ab] [Fm] [Db] [Cm] [A]
[Fm] [Db] [Eb] [Ab] [F]
[Fm] [Gb] [Ab] [F]
[Bb] [Bbm] [Ab]
Someday I'll wish upon [Bbm] a star and wake up where the clouds [Ab] are far behind [Bbm] me.
[Ab] Where troubles melt like lemon drops, [Dm] away [F] above the chimney [Cm] tops,
that's [Em] where [Ab] [Bbm] you'll find [A]
me.
[Ab] [Fm] Somewhere [Db] [Cm] [Bbm] over [Em]
[Db] [F] the rainbow, [G] [Ebm] bluebirds [Gb] fly.
[Bbm] Birds [Gb] fly [Ab] [Dbm] over [Cm] the [B] rainbow, [D] why?
[Db] Then oh [Cm] why can't [Ab] I?
If happy little bluebirds [Abm] fly beyond the rainbow, why [E] oh why can't I?
[Bbm] [Ab] [Bb] [Ab]
