         Somewhere Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World
                as performed by: Israel Kamakawiwo`ole
by: E.V. Harburg and Harold Arlen / George David Weiss and Bob Thiele

Israel Kamakawiwo`ole was a very big man (600 pounds) with an aching
beautiful voice.  It can be found on two CDs:  "Facing Forward" (mostly
Hawaiian language songs with ukulele), and on the soundtrack to
"Meet Joe Black", where it played in the credits.

Listen to the original before attempting this, since IZ improvises on the
melodies, essentially rewriting the tunes.  Every chord gets two beats.


C   C     Em       Em      F   F    C    C
Somewhere over the rainbow way   up high
F   F   C               C        G         G      Am  Am  F   F
And the dreams that you dream of once in a lul-la-by
C   C     Em       Em      F    F     C    C
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
F   F   C               C         G             G       Am  Am  F   F
And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true
    C              C           G
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the
G                Am   Am   F   F
clouds are far behind   me
      C                  C
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
G              G                     Am     Am       F    F
High above the chi-mn-ey tops that's where,   you'll find me
C   C     Em       Em      F  F         C    C
Somewhere over the rainbow    bluebirds fly
F   F   C               C           G       G         Am  Am  F  F
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
           C        Em        F         C
Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
F               C         Em     F
I'll watch then bloom for me and you
      F          F     G        G         Am     Am  F  F
And I think to myself,   what a wonderful world
           C        Em             F         C             F             C
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white and the brightness of day
E7           Am         F                G                C      F   C   C
  I like the dark and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
    G             G          C                 C
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
    G           G        C              C
are also on the faces of people passing by
      F               C              F          C
I see friends shaking hands saying, "How do you do?"
F              C       Dm7  Dm7        G    G
They're really saying, "I,      I love you"
       C      Em        F          C
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
F                  C     E7            Am
they'll learn much more     than we'll know
      F                G                Am    Am   F   F
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
C            C           G                       G          Am  Am  F    F
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far   behind me
      C                  C
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
G              G               Am          Am F       F
High above the chimney tops is where you'll   find me
C   C     Em       Em      F   F    C     C
Somewhere over the rainbow way   up high
F   F   C               C           G       G         Am  Am  F  F
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
