[F] I'm going to be singing this song called,
The Rainbow Way [C] Up High.
[F] And [C] dreams that you dream of
[G] once in a [Am]
lullaby.
[F] [C]
Somewhere [Em] over the rainbow
[Fm] [C] bluebirds fly.
[F]
And dreams that you dream of
[C] dreams that you dream of
[G] dreams really do
come [Am] true.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, [F] ooh, ooh, ooh.
[C] Someday you
wish you couldn't stop.
[G] Wake up where the
clouds are far [Am] behind.
[F] Beware when
[C] trouble melts like lemon drops.
[G] High above the chimney
And I need a place to [Am] hide.
You'll [F] find me, oh, [C] somewhere [Em] over the rainbow.
[F] Bluebirds [C] fly.
[Am] And [F] [C] dreams that you dare to, oh, why, [G] oh, why [Am] can't I?
I, [C] well, I see trees of green [F] and red [C] roses too.
[F] I'll watch [C] them bloom [E] for me [Am] and you and I [F] think to myself, [G] what a wonderful [Am]
world.
[F] I'll watch the skies [C]
of blue and I [F] see clouds of [C] white and the [F]
brightness of [C] day.
[D] I like the [Am] dark and I [F] think to myself, what a [C] wonderful world.
[F] [C] The [G] colors of the rainbow, so [E] pretty in the [C] sky, are [G] also on the faces of people passing [C] by.
I see [F] friends shaking [C] hands, saying, how do you do?
[F] They [C] really say, [F] I, [G] I love you.
I hear [C] [Em] babies cry [F] and I watch [Am] them grow.
[C] They'll learn much more than [Am] we'll know [F] and I think to myself, what [G] a wonderful [Am] world.
[F]
World, [C] someday I'll wish upon a star, [G] wake up where the clouds are far [Am] behind.
Me, [F]
[C] where trouble melts like lemon drops, [G] high above the chimney top, [Am] that's where you'll [Dm]
[F] find me, oh, [C] somewhere [Em] over the rainbow.
[F] Where [C] am I?
[F] The [C] dream that you dare to, [G] why, oh, why [Am] can't I?
I, [F] I, [C] I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, [F] I, I, [C] [F]
