Verse 1:
            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

CHORUS:
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
The magic of the garden isle is calling me back home

Verse 2:

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
