Eric Clapton — Somewhere Over The Rainbow Chords
This is my impression of what I thought I heard Eric Clapton playing live in concert.
A soulful bluesy rendition is played in a 2 chop per chord method.
This revision could be a good challenge to a novice player but should be playable
by most intermediate players.
