"Over the Rainbow" (often referred to as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow") is a classic Academy Award-winning ballad song with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg. It was written for the movie "The Wizard of Oz" and was sung by Judy Garland in the movie. It was later popularized as a ukulele hit by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole, and now every ukulele player is asked to play this at one time or another!
Lyrics
Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high, There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue, And all the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow. Why, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I?
