This is one of my favorite songs from THE WIZARD OF OZ, sung in the movie by an unseen soprano chorus as Dorothy and her three friends are skipping toward the front gate of Emerald City. It was a perfect song to herald the end of the 1930s, and the harsh years of the Great Depression.

  • thanks for posting this. the chords would be great...

  • @catchersmitt0 I'll email them to you if you let me know your address.

  • Dear Tim,

    I thought I'd seen every video you've done; WRONG!

    As always, you can make me smile, even when you don't know it. )

    I'm absolutely thrilled you've done Optimistic Voices; very uplifting! Could it be better than from *your* favorite film? It's perfect for the uke!

    I watched Oz with my Mom recently. Found out she'd never seen it! She was 13 when it opened; her mother wouldn't let her go (it was too sinful.)

    Did I ever tell you I played a munchkin in HS? lol

    Love,

    Laura

  • @LoneStarStateOfMine Hi, Laura! Can't recall if I ever wrote you about this comment. Shame on me if I didn't. I sure wish I could post more than I do, but life interferes. I'm determined to get to the Lone Star Uke Fest coming up in April. Hope your 2011 is going well. --- Tim

  • What a nice rendition. Gonna have to try and work up for our uke club.

  • @jbirsner Thanks! If you haven't been able to find the chords, let me know.
