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 


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 thats better still 
D7                        G 
But now I know, I know I never will 

(Chorus)
