Waimanalo Blues
By Thor Wold & Liko Martin
Country Comfort
G D7 G
Winds gonna blow, so I’m gonna go, down on the road again
D7 G G7
Starting where the mountains left me, I’m up where I began
C G
Where I will go, the winds only knows, good times around the bend
D7 G
Get in my car, going to far, I’m never coming back again
G D7 G
Tired and worn, I woke up this morn, found that I was confused
D7 G G7
Spun right around, found I had lost, the things that I couldn’t lose
Chorus:
C G
The beaches they sell, to build their hotels, my fathers and I once know
D7 G
Birds all along, the sunlight at dawn, Singing Waimanalo blues
G D7 G
Down on the road, the mountains so old, far on the country side
D7 G G7
Birds on a wing forget in a while, so I’m headed for the windward side
C G
In all of my dreams, sometimes it just seems, that I’m just along for the ride
D7 G G7
Some they will cry because they have pride, for someone who’s loved here died
Chorus:
C G
The beaches they sell, to build their hotels, my fathers and I once knew
D7 G
Birds all along, the sunlight at dawn, Singing Waimanalo Blues~3x
