F#m7    D9  G#m7           C#9      F#m7      B9    E  B11
There's a   land that I've heard of once in a lulla-by

and   the  dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
     E
Some day I'll wish upon a star and
F#m7              B9               G#m7  C#9 F#m7 B9
wake up where the clouds are far behind  me
      E
Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find  me

Why then, oh why can't I?
   E                            F#m7
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
