_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ From color _ to color, _ _ [C] there's a certain way we do our thing.
_ Day by day, I work or play in [G] this island.
_ _ _ _ _ Grandma's dancing her favorite hula,
_ [C] Brother's strumming tunes on his ogey-pa,
_ Papa with the keiki, _ _ [G] laughing the night _ away.
_ _ [C] _ Life _ _ _ in [G] this island.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [C] _ Life [G] in this island.
_ _ _ _ Out on the beach, playing in the sand,
[C] Walking into trails in misty [G] Atlantic,
[C] Riding a scythe on a rolling swell [G] in this island.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Gathering flowers to string a lane,
Being [C] with Ohana on a special day,
Sharing our aloha with everyone [G] in this island.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] Life _ [G] in this island.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
Life [C] _ _ _ [G] in this island.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ If you [Em] follow [C] your _ heart,
[G] You'll understand
_ _ _ [Em] That there's no _ [C] place _ _ _ [D] like this _ island.
_ _ _ _ Now I do this in the middle of the song while everyone else _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ is_
Slowly along the rolling,
_ _ _ [B] Telling stories by [G] the firelight,
[D] _ Breathing the ocean _ breeze,
_ [A] Oh, this island. _
_ _ _ _ _ Let's float out to sea,
[E] Return to [A] the land as it rains on me,
[D] There's no other feeling like,
Like [A] this island. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Life [D] _ _ _ [A] in this island.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[D] _ _ Life [A] in this island.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Life _ [D] _ in _ _ _ _ _ this island.
