Does anyone know where can I find Uke chords/lyrics for Izrael's "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"? |

Just a note: don't go to the original sheet music - Iz's chords are uniquely (qnd wonderfully) his own. The original chords are quite different. Check out Yip Harbug's verse for the song, though. It's quite nice and very meaningful. Someone should do Iz's version with the verse. |

So if you were going to play this in slack key, what tuning would you reccomend? Since there is a low g according to Mr. Tinsley, would it be in taro patch g? Update #1:
depolyment date moved to Jan.1, and my guitar has to stay because of a 4 duffel bag limit, I guess my uke is going to Iraq too! |

If you want to learn Over the Rainbow, go to youtube and check out Jesse Tinsleys tutorial on it. He does a good job of getting the main elements accross. He is way too humble and sounds great.

You guys really came through for me on this one. Thanks everybody!
I am not a Uke player but I think I can handle strumming.
FYI: This will be one of four songs I am going to play with my very talented 15 yr old Granddaughter (vocal/bass/flute). We will be playing at an elderly med rehab where I usually play solo Slack. This is going to be so much fun.

/C - - - /G - - - /F - - - /C - - - /
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
F - - - /C - - - /G - - - /Am - - - /F - - - /
there's a place that we dream of once in a lulaby.
/C - - - /G - - - /F - - - /C - - - /
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
F - - - /C - - - /G - - - /Am - - - /F - - - /
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
CHORUS
C - - - /
Someday I'll wish upon a star and
G - - - /Am - - - /F - - - /
wake up where the clouds are far behind me
C - - - /
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
G - - - /Am - - - /F - - -
high above the chimeny tops that's where you'll find me
PAANI

CHORUS
/C - - - /G - - - /F - - - /C - - - /
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
F - - - /C - - - /G - - - /Am - - - /F - - - /
Birds fly over the rainbow, why oh why can't I
[Hum] //C - - -/G - - -/F - - -/C - - -/F - - -/E7 - - -/Am - - -/F - - -//
C - - - /F - G - /C - - - //
If all the little bluebirds fly... why oh why can't I

C, Em, Am, F, G. IZ CHANGED HIS STRINGS AROUND SO THE C IS THE BOTTOM AND USED AS THE BASS IN THE SONG, IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN. YOU CAN USE THE NORMAL TUNING ARRANGEMENT AND USE THE C AS THE BASS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE STRUMMING PATTERN THAT IZ USES CAN'T BE DUPLICATED AS EASILY IN THIS ARRANGEMENT. MELE KALIKIMAKA. |
