		Ke Mele, "Molokai', Sweet Home" (A Song)
          
		
molokai shore

Off in the Distance
Moloka`i Sweet Home
Evening sky Molokai in distance
 
D
I feel your evening breeze tonight, 
                              A7
Moloka`i I¹m longing for your laughter
Molokai cliffs
  D
I gaze upon your silent shores
                                A7
Reminisce that sweet embrace of ginger
   D                               G
As New York City walls closed in
                             D           A7
I longed for the touch of an island, Moloka`i
Slient Shores
    G            D      A7
Moloka`i   sweet home
Molokaii Surf,the islands of Lanai, and Maui in the distance
   D
So tutu (Grandma) rest your weary eyes
                                              A7
I`ve missed your smiles and lullabies in the evening time
Country Church Molokai
     D
It`s been so long since I`ve been home
                                       A7
I`ve missed the morning sunrise of the countryside
     D                           G
I`ve gone so far to find my way
                                    D           A7             
This time I think I`ll stay with an island, Moloka`i
deserted beach Molokai
    G            D      A7
Moloka`i   sweet home
