E MEA A-ROFA TEIE AO NEI

EE Piano Chord 
                      DD Piano Chord 

I know I don't get there often enough
EE Piano Chord 
               DD Piano Chord 

But God knows I surely try
EE Piano Chord 
             DD Piano Chord 

It's a magic kind of medicine
AA Piano Chord 
       GG Piano Chord 
            EE Piano Chord 

That no doctor     could prescribe

EE Piano Chord 
                    DD Piano Chord 

I used to rule my world from a pay phone
EE Piano Chord 
                DD Piano Chord 

And ships out on the sea
EE Piano Chord 

But now times are rough
DD Piano Chord 

And I got too much stuff
AA Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 
           EE Piano Chord 

Can't explain  the likes   of me

Chorus:
EE Piano Chord 
               AA Piano Chord 
   BB Piano Chord 
          EE Piano Chord 

But there's this one particular harbor
AA Piano Chord 
       BB Piano Chord 
      EE Piano Chord 

So far but yet so near
AA Piano Chord 
       BB Piano Chord 
            EE Piano Chord 
    AA Piano Chord 

Where I see the days as they fade away
AA Piano Chord 
       BB Piano Chord 
      EE Piano Chord 

And finally   disappear
BB Piano Chord 

But now I think about the good times
EE Piano Chord 

Down in the Caribbean sunshine
BB Piano Chord 

In my younger days I was so bad
BB Piano Chord 
   AA Piano Chord 
  EE Piano Chord 

Laughin' about all the fun we had
BB Piano Chord 

I've seen enough to feel the world spin
EE Piano Chord 

Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins
BB Piano Chord 

Listen to the drummers and the night sounds
BB Piano Chord 
     AA Piano Chord 
  EE Piano Chord 

Listen to the singers make the world go round

(SOLO [repeats chorus chords])

IA ORA TE NATURA
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI
IA ORA TE NATURA
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI

Lakes below the mountains
Flow into the sea
Like oils applied to canvas
They permeate through me

And there's that one particular harbor
Sheltered from the wind
Where the children play on the shore each day
And all are safe within

A most mysterious calling harbor
So far but yet so near
Where I see the day when my hair's full gray
And I finally disappear

IA ORA TE NATURA               [translation:]
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI            NATURE LIVES (LIFE TO NATURE)
IA ORA TE NATURA                   HAVE PITY FOR THE EARTH
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI            (LOVE THE EARTH)

UA PAU TE MAITAI NO TE FENUA       BOUNTY OF THE LAND IS EXHAUSTED
TE ZAI NOA RA TE ORA O TE MITIE    BUT THERE'S STILL ABUNDANCE
IN THE SEA
