Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Anyone heard this song?
If you know who performs it please tell me.
See ya

This was a song in the Wizard Of Oz.

I don't know if that's what you're talking about.

I think Faith Hill sang a version of it.

I think it was female voice :)

The original was sang by Judy Garland from the Wizard of Oz. I thought you meant the remake, since this a guitar forum lol sorry.

I think that's the one.
Blackmore used to play it like intro (on the GUITAR :D) on his concerts with rainbow, so that's why I asked

thanks

There is a recent remake by Eva Cassidy. Its got some cool fingerpicking acoustic. That might be what you mean

Do you know where I can find mp3?

Thats what I use. You have to download the program though. After that its easy to work out.

http://www.audiogalaxy.com was great until some months ago. Now it's slow but there's still a lot of songs you can find.

Yeah
I have morpheus, but my connections is damn slow, I need hours for one song

Steve Vai did it, I know that...

ok
i found both of them on morpheus, just i need is time :)

If anybody's interested here's chords/tab. I know the chords don't line up with the lyrics (this was copied and pasted) but it's all there for you to figure out.

The original song was in "The Wizard of Oz," but I have heard a version by Malmsteen that was pretty damn cool. I haven't heard, but have heard of, a version by Steve Vai as well. But the Malmsteen version was nice; it was not his usual blistering speed but a more emotionally inspired slow yet effective song. Anyways, I don't know which version you're talking about. I am sure that there are dozens of remakes of the song, considering it is pretty old and fairly popular.

branislav you really should listen to the eva cassidy version.before you try to play it is a fantastic song sung. really beutifully by sadly a truly great vocalist. but it is a million miles away from the original. but it is a million times better than the original. rock and enjoy bro,
