[Verse 1]:

F          C       Bb
Before Hāmākua
               C       Dm
Who the hell were ya?
                   C
And do you know by now?
F        Am  C
Remember the waiting
Bb        C
For water falling
 F  Dm                 C
And concentrating on myself
F         Am/C
The quiet ōhi'a
Bb            C       F
  Gave me the fever
                                     C
To push through cracks and reach for light.


[Chorus]:

F       Bb  F
'Oe kou ka la'a
  Dm    Bb    Dm
E hana I ola honua
  Dm
Honua, honua.  (x2)

[Verse 2]:

F        Am         Bb
Before 7 Feathers
         C        Dm
Gave me his sweater
                              C
I'd be the brave and bear the cold
F        Am            Bb
I found myself seeking
              C     Dm
A false understanding
                         C
Of what is truth and honesty
F           Am           Bb
I kept on stretching out
         C          Dm
All of these blessings
                                  C
And learned to scream above the rain


[Chorus]:

F       Bb  F
'Oe kou ka la'a
  Dm    Bb    Dm
E hana I ola honua
  Dm
Honua, honua.  (x2)

[Verse 3]:

F         Am       Bb
Before my beloved
           C         Dm
Took me for granted
                  C
I would face the lions' den
F            Am         Bb
Through our indecision
                C        Dm
I discovered my medicine
                      C
People stay and people leaving
F                 Am      Bb
For what a better lesson
                       C         Dm
Than to be open to the messages
                             C
Coming through in spurts and mumbles
