Chords for Lahainaluna Key of C - Ukulele Tutorial

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Hi there, this is the video tutorial for Lahaina Luna, a beautiful song by Hawaiian singer-songwriter Kui Lee.
_ First of all, let's zoom in here and take a look at the chords that we are going to need to play this song.
To play Lahaina Luna in the key of C, you're going to need the C [C] chord, which looks like this and
sounds like that.
You're also going to need the F chord, [F] which I'll place my fingers here for. _ _
[C] G7 chord, all the [G] usual suspects in this key.
And then there's a new chord in here called the D7 chord.
And because it comes up right next to the G7 chord,
I'm going to take these two fingers here and just shift them over one string [Gb] each.
So I'm on the second fret of the G and the second fret of the E string as well. _
My pointer finger doesn't do anything.
I just play it right like that and it [C] has that kind of same jazzy sound.
As I mentioned in this song,
D7 comes right along next to the [Gm] G7 chord.
So you may want to take a moment before the song starts to practice [F] going back and forth from D7
[G] _
to G7, back and forth a couple times.
_ _ All right.
The other thing we want to keep in mind is the strum pattern for this song.
Now,
I'm going to leave it up to you.
Whatever challenge feels good.
You can [C] stick with the straight down strums.
One, two, three,
four, or you may also choose to throw in an up strum in a pattern that looks like this. _
One, two, up, three, four, up.
One, two, up, three.
Or sometimes I say down, down, up, down, down, up, down, down, up, down.
It's up to you.
Whatever feels like the appropriate _ challenge.
But you do want to think of it always in terms of the straight one, two, three, four, down strum.
So you don't get your ups and your downs confused.
So I'll let you make that choice and let's get started.
We start on the C chord.
_ _ _ Sounds like this.
One, two, here we go.
I am going
_ F to [F] the island
Back to sea of [C] the valleys _ _ _
_ Over to G7 _
to [G] La Haina _ _
_ Back to sea La [C] Haina Luna _
_ And G7 [G] again _
Back to sea where [C] the mountains
_ F [F] are green back to sea you [C]
will find me _ _
_ _ G7 _ in [Bb] La Haina _ _
_ _ This time to F
La [F] Haina Lu _
And C [C] Luna back to F.
They say [F] that _ _ Maui
No Ka'ai
Back to C
[C] And _ I _ _ agree _ Now D7
Cause [Gb] _ _ Maui no Ka'ai
G7 [Bb] is the only [C] place [G] for me
Back to C.
That's [C] where you'll find me
F [F] _ _
down by [C] C the _ _ seaside _ _
G7 watching [G] the moonlight _ _ _ _
C the _ [C] twinkling _ _ starlight _ _
G7 the [G] morning sunrise _ _ _ _
C [Bb] the [C] golden _ sunset _ _ _
_ G7 again in [Bb] La Haina
_ _ This time to F
La [F] Haina Lu
_ C [C] Luna one more time G7 [G] in La Haina _ _
To _ F again
[F] La Haina Lu
To C _ [C] Luna _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Nice job!
Now next what we want to do is try to play it again
but this time I'm not going to give you the chords _
You figure it out
You can listen with your ears
You can also look at your chord chart if you have one
See if you can do it.
Let's try it again _ _ _
I'm going _ _ to [F] the island _ _ [C] of the valleys _
_ _ _ _ To _ [G] La Haina _
_ _ La _ _ _ [C] Haina Luna _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ Where [C] the mountains _ _ [F] are green
You [C] will find me _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] In La Haina
_ _ _ _ _ _
La [F] Haina Lu La _ [C] Haina C Luna
They say [F] that Maui
_ No Ka'ai
_ _ [C] And I _ _ _ _ agree _ _ [Gb] Cause _ Maui
No Ka'ai
_ [C] Is [G] the _ only place for me
[E] That's where [C] you'll find me
_ _ [F] _
Down _ [C] by the _ _ seaside _ _ _
_ Watching [G] the moonlight
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
The [C] twinkling _ _ starlight
_ _ The _ _ [G] morning _ _ sunrise
