Israel Kamakawiwoole - Hele On To Kauai Ukulele

Hele On To Kauai

Intro:
              A    D
1. There's a place, I recall
E7                                A
 Not too big, in fact it's kinda small
                 D
The people there, know they got it all
E7                    A
 The simple life, for me.

'A' Chorus: 
A            A7
Hele on to Kauai
D
Han*lei by the bay
E7                        D               A
Wailua river valley, is where I used to play
A                 A7      D
The canyons of Waimea, standing all aglow
     E7                                            A
The magic of the garden isle, is calling me back home
  
2.
 A                D
When I was young, not too smart
E7              A
 I left my home, looking for a brand new start
                D
To find a place, that's better still
E7           A
 Now I know, I know I never will.


'A' Chorus: 
A            A7
Hele on to Kauai
D
Han*lei by the bay
E7                        D               A
Wailua river valley, is where I used to play
A                 A7      D
The canyons of Waimea, standing all aglow
     E7                                            A    G7
The magic of the garden isle, is calling me back home


Then Key change to C Chorus:

C           C7
Hele on to Kauai
F
Han*lei by the bay
G7                      F                C
Wailua river valley, is where I used to play
C                C7     F
The canyons of Waimea, standing all aglow
     G7                                          C
The magic of the garden isle, is calling me back home.
       G7              C     G7    C
It's call-ing me back home.
