Somewhere Over The Rainbow - G - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - guitar lesson - on-screen chords and lyrics

I am playing in the key of (open) Gmajor.
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole performed his version on a ukulele in the key of C major - five semi tones (five frets) higher than this.
For other versions of the song - playing in the key of Gmajor (as above) but with my capo on the:
4th fret: https://youtu.be/DNGs2FGz1iM
3rd fret: https://youtu.be/u3Nm00_LkAI
2nd fret: https://youtu.be/-cDmhPM1caM
Showing on-screen chords and lyics and strumming patterns for each.

Strumming pattern:
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
D D DuD varied with D DuDuD
Count 1: Downstroke with more emphasis
Count 2: Downstroke
Count 3 and 4: Down up down

I have added a simple bass line - playing Root, 3rd and 5th for each chord.

Originally written for the movie The Wizard of Oz, Somewhere Over The Rainbow became the signature song for the star July Garland.
