Haole Hula

Oh when I hear the strains of that sweet Alekoki
C7 F F7
And stealing from afar-off guitar “Penei n?”
Bb D7 G7
When “Lili`u ?” makes you sway in the moonlight
C7 F
I know the reason why fair Hawaii haunts you so
F C7 F
The lovely blue of sky and the sapphire of ocean
C7 F F7
The flashing white of cloud and of waves foaming crest
Bb D7 G7
The many shades of green from the plain to the mountain
C7 F
With all the brightest hues of the rainbow we're blessed
F C7 F
I hear the swish of rain as it sweeps down the valley
C7 F F7
I hear the song of wind as it sighs through the trees
Bb D7 G7
I hear the crash of waves on the rocks and the beaches
C7 F
I hear the hissing surf and the boom of the seas
F C7 F
I love to dance and sing of the charms of Hawaii
C7 F F7
And from a joyful heart sing Aloha to you
Bb D7 G7
In every note I'll tell of the spell of my islands
C7 F
For then I know that you'll be in love with them too
C7 Bb Bbm F C7 F
For then I know that you'll be in love with them toooooooooo
