| Notes: |
| This is from the CD "The Other Side" by Chuck Brown and |
| Eva Cassidy (Liaison Records cbd02263). It's the best cover of |
| "Over the Rainbow" I've ever heard. Her version has a lovely, |
| melancholy jazz/blues feel, played on a classical guitar with |
| a legato fingerpicking style. |
| Roman numerals in parentheses indicated the fret for a barred chord. |
| The ">>" notation means to "walk" from the first chord to the second: |
| G >> Em G7 >> C |
