This is my arrangement of "Over the Rainbow". It owes a lot to
Joe Palumbo's version, but I've transposed it to a more playable
(for me, anyway) key, and simplified a lot of the chords to ones
I'm more familiar with. If you can play Ninth and diminished
chords, you shouldn't have any trouble.
I've written out all but the simplest ones at the bottom, so
you'll know what I mean by some, and which version I use for
others. Note that some of the diagrams show less strings than
*could* be used, but I wrote them out that way because they
bring out parts of the melody. (And, yes, I know that
what I've written out as "A5" is really just an inversion of
an A7, but I had to distinguish it from the other A7.)
I know it may look intimidating, but if you use my chords, it's
really pretty easy to play, and sounds pretty cool.
You can sing to it, if you want to, and I usually capo 3 to do
so, but mostly I play it as an instrumental (also capoed 3 --
sounds "tinklier"). With a few judicious (and pretty standard)
hammers and pull-offs, you can get almost all of the melody to
sound.
Also note that I use lower case letters for bass notes, so you
can tell them apart from chords. A bass note without a chord
"above" it means that it applies to the previous chord.
It's a little tough to follow without the words, but if you play
it I think you'll hear the melody running through it.
Give it a try.
