Chords for Nathan Aweau - Me Ku'u One Hanau E

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [G] My wife and I actually [Em] have been dating since we were [G#] 16 years old.
Almost every year I write her a song, but this past year [E] I [G] forgot.
_ _ So, _ _ _ _ _ it kind of reminded me, so I said, okay.
[G#m] So that was a song called [G] Ho'olana.
_ _ This next piece is _
[D] about the story of a [G#] few years ago when I was [G] writing for my previous CD, Kaneko [F#] Henta.
I was coming back home [G] from Hawaii.
_ _ _ And, [E] interestingly enough, normally the plane would kind of come in on the southwest [G] side.
I made a U-turn in Atlanta, I guess because of the trade [F#] winds.
But on this particular day, [E] we came in on the northeast side.
And that was like [Bm] the first time [G#] I saw my [F#] home.
[E] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [G#] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It wasn't a big deal when I [G#] was growing up.
I remember [G] my father used to go out the back door. _
_ _ It was so beautiful.
And I was like, yeah, you know, whatever.
_ Now, I think because I'm like a foreign, _ _ it's kind of giving me, so it's very [G#] easy that I'm [G] aware of these things now.
Go out my [E] backyard, you can see the coal, [G#] look out in the front, [G] you see the Kaneoke Bay.
It's just so beautiful.
[E] But on this particular [E] time, looking out my window of the airplane,
this melody and lyrics just came [G] to me.
And, wow, I just grabbed my barf bag and started [E] writing, you know.
Oh, it's so beautiful.
