Hele  On To Kaua`i
Written by Alfred Nobriga
Performed by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole


G	        G7  C
There's a place I recall
D7				  G
Not too big, in fact it's kind of small
		 G7		 C
The people there say they got it all
D7		    G	D7
The simple life for me

Chorus:
G            G7    C
Hele on to Kaua'i, Hanalei by the bay
D7				       G
Wailua river valley is where I used to play
		  G7  C
The canyons of Waimea standing all alone
    D7				                G   D7
The magic of the garden isle is calling me back home

G		 G7	      C
When I was young and not too smart
D7			               G
I left my home looking for a brand new start
		G7	       C
To find a place that’s better still
D7			       G
But now I know, I know I never will

Chorus
G            G7    C
Hele on to Kaua'i, Hanalei by the bay
D7				       G
Wailua river valley is where I used to play
		  G7  C
The canyons of Waimea standing all alone
    D7				                G   D7
The magic of the garden isle is calling me back home
