Some (Eb)day I’ll wish up on a star and (Bb7)wake up where the clouds are far be (Eb6)hind me.

Where (Eb)trou bles melt like le mon drops, a (Ebdim)way, a bove the chim ney tops that’s (Fm6)where (Ebm)you’ll (Fm7)find (Bbaug9)me.

(Eb)Some (Cm7)where (Eb7)o ver the rain bow (Ab7)blue birds (Gdim)fly,
