Moloka`i Slide
F Dm
I like the sand spreading out to the sea, I like the tropical moon and the lazy palm trees
Bb C7 F C7
I like to listen to my heart, thereıs no place Iıd rather be
F Dm
I like the people, I like the way they smile, I like the feeling of you on this paradise isle
Bb C7 F C7
I like the cool island gecko, man this is where I wanna be
Chorus:
F Dm
Take me back. Back to da kine. Take me back. Back to da kine
Bb C7 F C7
All over, mo` betta, Moloka`i I will return
(Repeat)
F Dm
I like the gecko singing in the night, I like to do the dance they do to the Moloka`i Slide
Bb C7 F C7
When the sun comes up shining, always mo` betta da kine
F Dm
I like to hula, I think itıs really good, woman I donıt understand the words, but in time
Bb C7 F C7
I think I could, if I just had the time, oh if I just had the time
Dm Am
I say a wonıt you come along, weıll have a lu`au by the sea
Dm Am
Weıll cook a little pig and all the coconuts are free
Bb Am
And what you see is what you get. In a little grass shack
Gm C7
I know youıre gonna like it and I hope that you come back
F Dm
I like the fishes swimming round in the sea, I like to hop `um on the grill,
Bb C7 F C7
and cook `um up for me, with a big pan of butter, man it canıt get better than this
F Dm
I like the chicken, we hop `um on the grill, man it hurts to eat the raw fish
Bb C7 F
and eat up all the spills. Oh well, oh yeah. Itıs just a luau by the sea.
Bb C7 F
All over. Mo` betta, Moloka`i I will return
