My personal cue card, reduced to essentials, from the sheet music of Over the Rainbow. This is one of the songs I’m doing with Happy Valley Ukes in April 2021. You can read about cue cards here. See below the image for additional info on this cue card.

Over the Rainbow follows the classic AABA-Coda structure of many golden-age-of-Broadway musicals (aka 32-Bar Form). Each of the A-sections begins with the refrain “Somewhere over the Rainbow.” After the second A, you move on to the B-section (also known as the ‘middle eight’) and then go back to the A-section for the third time. Lastly you skip down to the Coda (not all AABA songs have a coda, but it is nice when they do as it helps wrap up the song).
