    72 years old and I finally learned the right chords for Over the Rainbow. That song always reminds me of my daughter when she was three and wanted me to drive our car up on top of a rainbow to see things. And of course it also reminds me of Dorothy and the great Izzy. Thank you so much for this. And yes, I will drink my water and eat my vegetables and be a good person.

    Edit: a year later and this got 1k likes! I do have the ukulele if you’re wondering (it’s a kala) and I recently got a guitar! I feel kinda bad because the comment I stole this format from didn’t get 1k likes yet haha anyways I’ll probably make another edit around next Christmas!

    My dad wanted to learn this song with me from a CZcams tutorial. We were using a different one, but he never gave me a link so I looked it up. Then I got so excited to see that one of my favorite musical CZcamsrs had a tutorial for it 😃😃😃

    Chorus:

    DDU UDU (x2 each chord)
    Verses:
    C, G, Am, F
    DDU UDU (x2 each chord)
    Hope this helps anyone! Great tutorial :) I just got my ukulele a couple days ago and I've been improving a lot!
    Also, does anyone have tips for transitioning between chords? I tend to pause between the chords and it doesn't sound very nice.

    So, quick backstory:
    I got my ukulele for Christmas this year (it’s December 30th). When my great grandma died, her favorite song was the Hawaiian version of somewhere over the rainbow. My goal was to learn this and play it at a family reunion or something. Now I know how to play this song and I can’t wait for the next family get together! Thanks for reading

    Lyrics bc why not
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh
    Somewhere over the rainbow
    Way up high
    And the dreams that you dream of
    Once in a lullaby
    Somewhere over the rainbow
    Bluebirds fly
    And the dreams that you dream of
    Dreams really do come true
    Someday, I wish upon 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'll find me
    Somewhere over the rainbow
    Bluebirds fly
    And the dreams that you dare to
    Oh why, oh why can't I?
    Well, I see trees of green and red roses too
    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
    I like the dark
    And I think to myself what a wonderful world
    The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
    And 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 then we'll know
    And I think to myself what a wonderful world
    World
    Someday I wish upon 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'll find me
    Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
    Way up high
    And the dreams that you dare to
    Why oh, why can't I?
    Ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh

Our trip to Hawaii was canceled and my mom’s birthday is coming up so I thought why not sing this song to her and play the ukulele. I was in All state Choir for Colorado and she keeps telling me to learn this song, so since we’re in quarantine and our trip was canceled, I knew it was the perfect timing. Thank you so much love!!💛
