Kuana Torres Kahele - Lava Ukulele

Intro: C G7 F C G7 C


[Verse 1]
C                     G7   
A long long time ago, there was a volcano.
F                        Csus2         G
Living all alone, in the middle of the sea.
C                          G7
He sat high above his bay, watching all the couples play,
F                    Csus2       G 
and wishing that, he had someone too.
C                             G7                        F                
And from his lava came, this song of hope that he sang out-loud everyday,
Csus2               G
for years and years.
 

[Chorus]
F                 C
I have a dream, I hope will come true,
     G7                      C
that you're here with me and I'm here with you
  F                             C
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above
     F       G7         C
will send me someone to la-va


[[Slows]]   F   G7    C


[Verse 2]
C                           G7
Years of singing all alone, turned his lava into stone,
F                   Csus2          G
until he was on the brink of extinction.
C                           G7
But little did he know that living in the sea below
F                   Csus2            G
another volcano was listening to his song.
 

[Verse 3]
C                             G7
Every day she heard his tune, her lava grew and grew
F                        Csus2              G
because she believed his song was meant for her.
C                       G7
Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea 
          F                 Csus2        G
as he sang his song of hope for the last time.


[Chorus]     [[[[SLOWS]]]]
F                 C
I have a dream, I hope will come true,
      G7                     C
that you're here with me and I'm here with you
  F                             C
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above
     F       G7         C
will send me someone to la-va
 

[Verse 4]    [[PAUSE]]   VOLCANO ERUPTS  
(Feel free to throw in a short solo here)
 
C                         G7
Rising from the sea below stood a lovely volcano 
F                      Csus2             G
looking all around but she could not see him.
C                                     G7
He tried to sing to let her know that she was not there alone,
F                    Csus2        G
but with no lava his song was all gone.
C                                G7
He filled the sea with his tears and watched his dreams disappear 
F                          Csus2         G
as she remembered what his song meant to her.


[Chorus]     
F                 C
I have a dream, I hope will come true,
      G7                     C
that you're here with me and I'm here with you
  F                             C
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above
     F       G7         C
will send me someone to la-va


[Verse 5]   VOLCANO ERUPTS 
C                            G7
And oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea
F                      Csus2          G
All together now their lava grew and grew.
C                              G7
No longer are they alone with aloha as their new home
F                        Csus2             G
and when you visit them, this is what they sing
 

[Chorus]
F                 C
I have a dream, I hope will come true,
     G7                           C
that you'll grow old with me, and I'll grow old with you
F                            C
We thank the earth, sea, the sky, we thank too
C   G7    C    
I   lava  you X3
