Over The Rainbow (Live) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]You know, Ethel Merman has
[A]introduced and been associ[G]ated
with some of the greatest musical
comedy songs of our age.
Tonight, however,
she [D]does a song
which you've never heard her
sing be[G]fore.
A song expressing the hopes and wishes
that [A]lie hidden in every
[G]one's heart.
Ethel Merman in Over
[A]the Rainbow.[G][Cm][D][G][D]
I work in a tents and [A]dance hall,
[D]but it's not the place that I
should [G]be.[Em]
[D]Still I work in a tents and dance hall,
fate just played [A]a dirty trick on [D]me.
Tough guy, [G]sailor,
and just plain mug
will pay their [C]dime in [G]ad vance.
And then they [A]push you
and stomp and [D]struggle,
[Bm]they [Em]do everything [A]but dan[D]ce.
I work in a ten cent ballroom,
but it's not as bad as it may [Asus4]seem.
[G]For when [D]I get back to my little [G]back [A]home,
[G]I close my eyes a[D]n d dream,
[G]somewhere [Em]over [D]the[G] rainbow,
[C]way up [G]high,
[C]there's [Adim]a land t[G]hat I've heard[D] of once,
in a lul[G]laby[D][G]
[Em]Somewhere [Bm]over the r[G]ainbow,
[C]skies [D]are blue
[C]And the [G]dreams that you dare [D]to dream,
[Am]really do [Adim]come true[G]
Someday I'll wish upon a star
and [C]wake up
[Am]Where the [D]clouds are far behind me
[C]Whe[D]re tro[G]uble smells
like lemon drops
Away [Em]above the [F#]chimney tops
That's [A]where [D]you'll [A]find [D]me
[G]Somewhere [Em]over [D]the rainbow
[G]Blu[C]ebir[D]ds fly[G][C]
[Am]Birds fly [A]over t[D]he[G] rainbow,
[Ddim]why then[A] oh why
[Ebdim]can't I?[G]
When I'm feeling low in mind
[C#]and I'm fed up [A]with the grind,
I can leave it [D]all behind
and go [Eb]way a[Ab]bove the chimn[E]ey tops
where [A]troubles melt like [F]lemon drops
and [C#]sunbeams wash [D]away my every woe.
It's [Cm]not a place that [D]you can go
by [A]mo tor car or train.
It's far beyond the [Bb]farthest star,
beyond [F#]the c[D]louds and [G]rain.
[Em]Somewhere [Bm]over the rain[G]bow,
[C]
[F]happy little bluebirds [G]fly.
Birds [C]fly [Adim]over the rai[G]nbow[Ddim]
[A]Why [Am]then, oh why [D]then can't
