Over The Rainbow What A Wonderful World by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Israel Kamakawiwoʻole Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6 Version 7 Version 8 Version 9 Version 10 Version 11
This is a great all-acoustic song to play, and is not that hard to play if you know most chords.
Capo 5th fret
For strumming, he does a pick strum kind of thing, with a little rhythm to it, so just
to the song and you'll eventually get it. I would also recommend using your thumb and
fingernails to strum, instead of using a plastic pick. It sounds a lot better.
