Somewhere Over The Rainbow What A Wonderful World Tab

by Israel Kamakawiwoole


This is a great all-acoustic song to play, and is not that hard to play if you know most chords.

Capo 5th fret

For strumming, he does a pick strum kind of thing, with a little rhythm to it, so just
to the song and you'll eventually get it. I would also recommend using your thumb and
fingernails to strum, instead of using a plastic pick. It sounds a lot better. Also, the 
are placed approximately where they should be, so listen to the song and you'll get
This is my first tab, by the way.

---Somewhere Over the Rainbow---
                               
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
                                              

And...the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby iiiii
                                     
Oh somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
                                  
   
And... the dreams that you dream of dreams really do come true ooooo
 
Someday I'll wish apon a star
                                          
Wake up where the clouds are far behind..... me
      
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
                                                 
High above the chimney top that's where... you find me
                                     
Oh somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
                                 
And the dreams that you dare to oh why,
                
Oh why cant I    iiiii

---What A Wonderful World---

                                  
Well I see trees of green, red roses to
                             
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
                                            
And i think to myself...What a wonderful world
                                          
Well i see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
                                        
And the brightness of day well...I like the dark
                                                
And I think to myself... What a wonderful world
                            
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
                        
Are also on the faces of people passing by
                                            
I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do
                              
They're really saying I.....I love you
                                
I hear babies cry and i watch them grow
                                
They'll learn much more than we'll know
                                              
And I think to myself... What a wonderful world orlddddd

Someday I'll wish apon a star
                                        
Wake up where the clouds are far behind... me
      
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
                                            
High above the chimeny top thats where... you find me
                                  
Oh somewhere over the rainbow way up high
                                     
And... the dreams that you dare to oh why,
              
Oh why cant i iiiii
