Verse 2:
Tired and worn I woke up this morning,
And found that I was confused.
Spun right around and found that I had lost
The things that I couldn't lose
The beaches they sell to build their hotels,
My fathers and I once knew.
Birds all along the sunlight at dawn,
Singing Waimanalo Blues.
(Instrumental over 1st half of verse chords with turnaround)
Verse 3:
Down on the road with mountains so old,
Far on the countryside.
Birds on the winds forget in a while,
So I'm headed for the windward side.
In all of your dreams sometimes it just seems
That I'm just along for the ride.
Some they will cry because they have pride,
But someone who�s loved here died.
Verse 4:
(Instrumental over 1st half of verse chords)
The beaches they sell to build their hotels,
My fathers and I once knew.
Birds all along the sunlight at dawn,
Singing Waimanalo Blues.
