Chords for Jerry Santos & Kamuela Kimokeo Ku'u Home O Kahalu'u

On the [B] day this song was written, I had caught four buses, walked [E] up the four hills, the four flights of stairs,
to my little tiny apartment on the corner of Playa del [B] Oeste Street.
And the [G] heater was on.
Now, I have no idea why [Em] that would have made a difference, but a little voice in my head started saying,
You know, an island boy belongs on [E] the island.
I sat down with the guitar, and we were [Em] really writing a song for my family.
We were having a discussion about how the way people change, the way places change, the [B] choices that they make,
[Em] how we relate those things.
[E] I got it right away.
[B] So I wrote this song, never dreaming that a song that I had written when I [G] was 20 years old would be following me [E] around for a long time.
But I said I wasn't going to play this back there, and I got scolded. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] A couple of [E] us got bored, and_
[A] _ [E] Not even close.

_ _ _ [C#m] Sing along.

_ _ I [A] remember the day when we [E] first met. _
_ We used to [A] travel through the mountain [E] to meet. _
_ _ Round the four valleys, we'd ride on a horse. _
[E] _ _ So long [C#m] ago, it seems, it [E] was a dream. _
_ _ Last night I dreamt of a sweet dream.
_ _ [A] And my [B] heart full [E] of joy. _
_ _ [E] But a fear you won't feel at night.
_ _ If they all know I don't care what I do.
_ _ _ I remember the days when we were wiser.
_ _ _ When our world was [A] small enough for dreams.
_ _ _ And you were bigger than my sisters.
_ _ _ And I no [A] longer can see.
[E] _ _ _ Last [E] night I dreamt of a sweet dream.
_ _ And my heart full of joy.
_ _ _ _ But a fear [C#m] you won't feel at night.
[B] _ _ [E] _ [E] If they all know [B] I don't care what I do.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] Change is a strange thing, [E] it cannot be denied.
_ _ [B] To never find yourself [E] or make you lose your pride.
_ [A] All that you've got is [E] all you've got.
_ _ [A] Please don't come to me [B] with all my sorrow. _ _ _ _ _
_ I remember [A] the days [E] when we were smiling. _
_ When we [C#m] laughed and sang for all night long. _
[E] _ _ And I'm free, as I dream. _ _
_ When you shared [B] a brand new song. _ _
_ Last night I dreamt I was returning. _
_ _ [B] And my heart full of [E] joy. _
_ _ So [C#m] please accept me, [E] as you'll find me. _
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ I [B] love you, my love.
I love you, [E] my love. _
_ _ I love you, my love. _ _
