Life In These Islands Kawika Kahiapo Kaukahi D From Kalalau to Na’alehu C There’s a certain way we do what we do G Day by day, at work or play D In these islands D Grandma’s dancing her favorite hula C Brother strumming tunes on his old guitar G Papa with keiki D Laughing the night away C G D A G D Life in these islands, life in these islands D Fun on the beach, playing in the sand C Walking ancient trails, in misty uplands G Riding the surf, on a rolling swell D In these islands D Gathering flowers to string a lei C Being with ohana on a special day G Sharing our aloha with everyone D In these islands C G D A G D Life in these islands, life in these islands Instrumental: Bridge: Bm G D If you follow your heart, you will understand Bm G A7 That there’s no place on earth, like these islands E Strolling along on a moonlit night D Telling stories by the firelight A Breathing the ocean breeze E Of these islands E Where rivers flow out to the sea D And returns to the lands, as it rains on me A There’s no other feelings like E Life in these islands D A E B A E Life in these islands, life in these islands D A E Life in these islands….
Nice arrangement. Play with capo 5 to match the recording.
