E7

I’m just a little Hawaiian and a homesick Island boy, A7

I want to go back to my fish and poi, G

I want to go back to my little grass shack A7

In Kealakekua, Hawai`i, D7

Where the Humu-humu-nuku-nuku-a-pu-a`a, G

Go swimming by. D7

Where the Humu-humu-nuku-nuku-a-pu-a`a, G

Go swimming by.

Palika Sept 2009 Copyright 1933, 1961 Miller Music Corp, - This song was introduced in Kona, Hawai`i at the July 4th canoe races, 1933. Harrison gave the song to John Noble to publish, who revised the music to give it an almost new melody without changing Cogswell's words. This was done to dispel the claim that others had written the song. Once published, the song became a smash hit. Noble turned over the royalties to the Sherman Clay Co. in San Francisco for $500.00 advance royalty, giving the credit to Cogswell and Harrison. Kealakekua is the bay where Captain Cook was killed in 1779. Hônaunau is the ancient City of Refuge and Kona is the district where both are located on the Big Island.

WHITE SANDY BEACH 4/4 1…2…1234

Intro: | | | | |

I saw you in my dreams, we were walking hand in hand

On a white, sandy beach of Ha-waii

We were playing in the sun, we were having so much fun

On a white, sandy beach of Ha-waii Refrain:

The sound of the ocean soothes my restless soul

The sound of the ocean rocks me all night long

Those hot long summer days, lying there in the sun

On a white, sandy beach of Ha-waii (Refrain)

Last night in my dreams I saw your face again, we were there in the sun

On a white, sandy beach of Ha-waii......on a white, sandy beach of Ha-waii

On a white..... sandy beach.......... of Ha-waii

G When it all ends I can't fathom my friends F C G If I knew I might toss out my anchor C G So I'll  cruise  along  always  searchin’ for songs D G Not a lawyer a thief or a banker F C But a son of a son, son of a son G Son of a son of a sailor F C Son of a gun, load the last ton G One step ahead of the jailer F C I'm just a son of a son, son of a son G Son of a son of a sailor F C The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains G I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer ENDING: F C C G

Son of a Son of a Sailor By Jimmy Buffett G As the son of a son of a sailor F C G I went out on the sea for adventure C G Expanding the view of the captain and crew D G Like a man just released from indenture As a dreamer of dreams and a traveling man F C G I have chalked up many a mile C G Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks D G And I learned much from both of their styles Chorus: F C Son of a son, son of a son G Son of a son of a sailor F C Son of a gun, load the last ton G One step ahead of the jailer G Now away in the near future F C G Southeast of disorder C G You can shake the hand of the Mango man D G As he greets you at the border And the lady she hails from Trinidad F C G Island of the spices C G Salt for your meat and cinnamon sweet D G And the rum is for all your good vices F C Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind G That our forefathers harnessed before us F C Hear the bells ring as the tide rigging sings G It's a son of a gun of a chorus

G When it all ends I can't fathom my friends F C G If I knew I might toss out my anchor C G So I'll  cruise  along  always  searchin’ for songs D G Not a lawyer a thief or a banker F C But a son of a son, son of a son G Son of a son of a sailor F C Son of a gun, load the last ton G One step ahead of the jailer F C I'm just a son of a son, son of a son G Son of a son of a sailor F C The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains G I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer ENDING: F C C G
