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.

About the artist behind Somewhere Over The Rainbow Chords:
Although Clapton's musical style has varied throughout his career, it has always remained rooted in the blues. Clapton is credited as an innovator in several phases of his career, which have included blues-rock (with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and The Yardbirds) and psychedelic rock (with Cream). Clapton has also achieved great chart success in genres ranging from Delta blues (Me and Mr. Johnson) to pop ("Change the World") and reggae (Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff"). Clapton also achieved fame with Derek and the Dominos through the hit song "Layla".
