_ _ If I [E] was to leave [A] tomorrow, _ _ Hoʻi [E] Kāpou and [F#m] I'm gone.
Would there only be [E]
[F#m] tears of sorrow, or would we know [E] that the future [F#m] lives [F#m] on?
Would [A] the people [E] still want to tell [F#m] my story, _ [A] or would they [E] just sing my [F#m] songs?

And tell [A] me, would those [E] people be my [F#m] loved ones?
[A] Cause I [E] heard the words from the [F#m] birds through the sun singing,
[A] Look [E] out cause here I [F#m] come, here I come.

[A] And if [E] anybody sees [F#m] my mama, [Bm] can [A] you tell her she [E] raised a [F#m] good man?
She taught [A] me knowledge [C#m] and wisdom [F#m] and power, [B] and how [A] to solve [E] problems no one [F#m] else has.
[A] And I know they'd make [E] sure [F#m] my brothers knew, to [A] stay righteous, [E] diligent [F#m] and bold.
[A] And I know they'd [E] make sure [F#m] my sisters know, that [A] the love is [C#m] worth twice the [F#m] weight in _ gold.
