6    -6   5     6  
When all the world 

-4 5  -5  -5   -5 6
is a hopeless jumble

 4  -4    5   5    
And the raindrops 

 5 6  -3   4 -4
tumble all around,

 5  5   5  6 -5 5 -4    4
Heaven opens  a magic lane.

 6    -6   5    6   
When all the clouds 

-4  5  -5 -5   -5 6
darken up the skyway,

  4    -4   5  5  
There's a rainbow 

 5  6  -3  4   -4
highway to be found,

 3   4   7    -7   -6 -6   6
Leading from your window pane

 4 4   5    6 -7   7   6
To a place beyond the sun--

 4   4  5    6 -7   7  -8
Just a step beyond the rain--


 4   7   -7 6  -6   -7 7     
Somewhere over the rainbow, 

 4  -6   6
'way up high,

  4    -5   5   4  -4   5   -5  -4  
There's a land that I heard of once 

-3 4 -4  5  4
in a lullabye.

 4   7   -7 6  -6   -7  7     4    -6  6
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,

 4  -5    5     4   -4   5  -5   -4   
And the dreams that you dare to dream 

-3  4  -4  5    4
really do come true.

 6  5    6     5  6  5 6  5
Someday I'll wish upon a star

  6 -5   6  -5     6  -5     
And wake up where the clouds 

 6  -5  6  -6  -6
are far behind me.

 6     5   6    5    6    5  6   5
Where troubles melt like lemon drops

6 -5  6 -5  6  -5  6    -5   
Away above the chimney tops 

-6     -6   -6      -8  -6
that's where you'll find me.


  4   7   -7 6  -6  -7  7    4    -6   6
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly

  4   -5  5 4  -4   5  -5
Birds fly over the rainbow

 -4  -3    4   -4    5   4
Why, then, oh, why can't I?

6   5 6   5 6     5  6     5
If happy little bluebirds fly

 6 -5   6  -5  6
Beyond the rainbow

 -5   6  -6    -7   7
Why, oh, why, can't I?
