-5*   -9* -9 -7*   8  -9  -9*
Some-where o- ver the rain-bow 
-5*  8  -7*
Way up high 
 -5*    8  -7* 
There's a land 
 7   7*  -7*   8 
that I  heard of 
 6*  -5 -5* 6*   7 -5* 
once in  a lull- a -by 
 -5*  -9* -9  -7*  8  -9  -9*
Some-where o- ver the rain-bow 
-5*   8  -7*
Skies are blue 
 -5*  8  -7* 
And the dreams
 7   7*  -7*   8    7
That you dare to dream 
6* -5  -5*  6*  7    -5* 
real -  ly  do come true
 -7*  7  -7*   7   -7* 7  -7*  7 
Some-day I'll wish up-on  a  star 
-7*  7*  -7*  7* 
and wake up where 
-7*   7*   -7*  7* -7*  8  8 
the clouds are far be-hind me
-7*    7  -7*   7    -7*  7  -7*   7 
Where trou-bles melt like le-mon drops 
-7* 7* -7*  7* -7*  7*  -7*  7* 
a- way  a-bove the chim-ney tops 
 -7*    7*   -7*     9   9 
that's where you'll find me. 
-5*   -9* -9   -7*  8   -9  -9* 
Some-where o – ver the rain-bow 
 -5*   8   -7* 
blue-birds fly 
 6*    8   7 -5*  6*  7   7* 
Birds fly  o-ver the rain-bow 
 6*   -5  -5* 6*   7   -5*
why, then oh why, can't I ? 
-7* 7 -7*  7  -7*  7    -7*   7 
If hap-py lit-tle blue-birds fly 
-7* 7* -7*  7*  -7* 
beyond the rain-bow 
 7*  -7* 8   -9   -9* 
why, oh why, can't I?
