Notes: Here is a bluegrass arrangement of “Over the Rainbow,” often referred to as “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” I play it in the key of C, standard G tuning, although some versions I have heard (e.g., Eddie Shelton’s) are in the key of G. But I think C works better on the banjo. I am aware that there are alternate chord structures for this tune, particularly for the B part. This version works for me, but your mileage may vary, and feel free to come up with your own arrangement.

I thought I might be an intermediate player until I came across this arrangement! It's smokin'!
I'll be trying to learn this for the next month or so. Until then I'll keep it looping in TABLEDIT. This rocks!

Thanks very much for your kind comments! I had actually forgotten that I had tabbed Rainbow out. I guess I will have to relearn how to play it …
