Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Judy Garland
Tab By: omanyen@fusemail.com
This is a great traditional song from the "Wizard of Oz".
If you play it with a "BLUESY" feel, it really comes out
great. I've left out alot of the 'extra' chords which are
really not needed and makes the song sound "cluttered".
I've simplified the melody and included a guitar lead,
hope you enjoy it.
