Chords for Hula Baby ~ Natalie Ai Kamauu 2/13/09

[G] _ [Cm] I thought you were joking, but I'll drink real fast this time.
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _
Okay, then let's see.
Oh!
Shalona, you have to sing.
I wrote this song. _ _ _ _
[G] _ I tell mommy, I say who?
I say when?
I say who? _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ I [G] wrote this song _ [Am] just about a year [E] ago _ [Gbm] for _ [E] the [G] 2008 Pro Bowl.
I was asked to do a song for the kickoff, _ _ [Eb] _ so [G] the NFL calls.
_ [Am] Hello?
[G] Would you like to be the singer for the kickoff?
Yes! _ _
Do you got a song?
_ Yes! _ _
Is it upbeat?
Yes!
[Eb] _ _ _
Is it in Hawaiian or English?
_ [C] It's in [Dm] English!
_ [A] Is it about Hawaii?
[G] What a coincidence!
You didn't answer! _ _ _
Got off [A] the phone?
No such song.
_ [F]
I [G] had about two weeks to write it and to take it into the studio.
_ [Eb] I recorded it, and [G] I was really, really desperate.
[N] _ _ So I _ found myself in [Gb] church, [G] praying and [D] praying and [Eb] praying.
_ I opened my eyes _ [Ab] after much praying, and I had to ask for forgiveness [A] for lying too. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And in church, all of these words started to come to me in a melody all at the same time,
but I didn't have a pen.
Who brings a pen to church?
An extra paper, not me.
_ _ _ But by the end of church, for us it's three hours, [Eb]
by the end of church,
I had gotten my [D] hands on a [Ab] marker and some scratch paper [A] and wrote down all of these words
and was able to take [Db] it to the [B] studio and record it and send it to the [Abm] NFL
and saw them perform it for the kickoff [Eb] of ROA.
[Am] Are you ready?
_ Yes!
_ Why thank you, John!
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ Oh!
[N] Okay, we're going to try Mike now. _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] Jack.
_ _ [G] _ _
Jack.
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
Jack!
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ Okay, _ _ here we go.
Are you ready for the next? _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Am] _ _

[Dm] I'm on the wagon,
so pick me up,
I got [Am] [E] nothing.
Come by my bed.
[Am] _
I'm a hula-hula baby,
my [E] mama taught me what to do.

[Dm] And when I try to swing, the game is in [Am] play, [E] you know the game can [Am] never go to _ waste.
And rise up high, now let's see where you go, and as it turns around I'll [E] see you now.
