IE know I don't get there Doften enough

BEut God knows I suDrely try

IEt's a magic kinDd of medicine

TAhat no doGctor couldE prescribe

IE used to rule my worldD from a pay phone

AEnd ships out on thDe sea

BEut now times are rough

ADnd I got too much stuff

CAan't explain G the likes Eof me

Chorus

E But there's tAhis oBne particulaEr harbor

A So faBr but yeEt so near

A WhereB I see the dayEs as tAhey fade away

A And fBinally E disappear

B But now I think about the good times

E Down in the Caribbean sunshine

B In my younger days I was so bad

B A ELaughin' about all the fun we had

B I've seen enough to feel the world spin

E Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins

B Listen to the drummers and the night sounds

B A LiEsten 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
