Eva Cassidy — Somewhere Over The Rainbow Chords

  Rate this tab:
There were a few Judy Garland versions of this floating around but they didn't sound
right to me so I've tweaked them and the result is here. I've filed this as Eva Cassidy 
she in my opinion took possession of this song with her rendition.

I've put repeated chords to show the timing of how I play it:
Each chord is played downstroke, downstroke, upstroke
