Somewhere over the rainbow

Someday I'll wish upon a star 
G 
And wake up where the clouds are far

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow 
G         D 
Bluebirds fly 
C             G 
Birds fly over the rainbow

Why then, oh why can't I?
