#-----OVER THE RAINBOW-----#
From 'The Wizard of Oz'
Words by E.Y. Harburg - Music by Harold Arlen
Tabbed by: dominic tricks
This is the song as I play it (my arrangement I guess) - it certainly isn't the 'correct' version but the whole song is there in order. You might want to add a
solo between verse 3 and the final bit - well, do whatever you want with it basically!
