I'm posting a new thread for those of you who don't know about this project.
As most of you know, we lost a member recently. Vincent Daniel Rooney, or Captain Google as he was known on the boards, passed away on July 6th.
As a gesture of solidarity and tribute, some of us have decided to put together a video collaboration. The song choice is Iz' "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World."
All are welcome to join in this endeavor. You do not have to sing, you do not have to play. If the extent of your contribution to the project is just a few words in honor of Captain Google, that's enough.
If you do want to sing and/or play, please download this mp3:
http://www.box.net/shared/pmbupzcp63
Listen to the mp3 wearing headphones or earbuds and film yourself playing along to the mp3. When you're through, upload your video in the highest quality possible to an online file hosting site like mediafire.com or box.net. PM me the link, or simply post it in this thread. The same instructions pertain to those not singing or playing (minus the mp3 portion, of course).
Please be certain that you are using the same chords that are used in the mp3 I have provided.
Here's a link to download a PDF of the tablature that you can print out:

And here are the chords in text format:
Thanks. I have set next Friday, July 17th as the date I'd like to have everyone's contribution in. If you need more time, please PM me.

Once in a lullaby

Bluebirds fly

Ooh…

Some day I'll wish upon a star, and wake up where the clouds are far

Behind me

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
| Am | Am | F | F |

Well I see skies of blue, and I see clouds of white

And the brightness of day, I like the dark

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
| C | F | C | C |
| G | G | C | C |
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
| G | G | C | C |
Are also on the faces of people passing by

I see friends shaking hands, saying, "How do you do?"
| F | C | Dm | Dm |
They're really saying, "I, I love you."
| G | G |
| C | Em | F | C |
I hear babies cry, and I watch them grow
| F | C | E7 | Am |
They'll learn much more than we'll know
| F | F | G | G |
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
| Am | Am | F | F |
World
| C | C | G | G |
Some day I'll wish upon a star, and wake up where the clouds are far
| Am | Am | F | F |
Behind me

Where trouble melts like lemon drops, high above the chimney top
| Am | Am | F | F |
That's where you'll find me
| C | C | Em | Em |
Somewhere over the rainbow
| F | F | C | C |
Way up high
