[Intro]
C G7 F C G7
 
[Verse 1]
C                    G7
A long long time ago there was a volcano 
F                       C             G7
living all alone in the middle of the sea.
C                         G7
He sat high above his bay watching all the couples play, 
F                C              G7
and wishing that he had someone too.
C                           G7                        F
And from his lava came this song of hope that he sang out loud
           C             G7
 every day for years and years.
 
[Chorus]
F                C
I have a dream I hope will come true 
     G               G7       C             C7
that you're here with me and I'm here with you.
  F                             C
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above-a
     F       G7         C
will send me someone to la-va.
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C                          G7
Years of singing all alone turned his lava into stone
  F                 C              G7
until he was on the brink of extinction.
C                           G7
But little did he know that living in the sea below
F                   C                G7
another volcano was listening to his song
C                            G7
Every day she heard his tune her lava grew and grew
  F                      C                  G7
because she believed his song was meant for her.
C                       G7
Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea 
      F                     C            G7
as he sang his song of hope for the last time. 
 
[Chorus]
F                C
I have a dream I hope will come true 
     G               G7       C             C7
that you're here with me and I'm here with you.
  F                             C
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above-a
F            G7         C
will send me someone to la-va.
 
[Verse 3]
C                         G7
Rising from the sea below stood a lovely volcano 
F                      C                 G7
looking all around but she could not see him.
   C                                  G7
He tried to sing to let her know that she was not there alone
    F                C            G7
but with no lava, his song was all gone
   C                                 G7
He filled the sea with his tears and watched his dreams disappear 
   F                       C             G7
as she remembered what his song meant to her.
 
[Chorus]
F                C
I have a dream I hope will come true 
     G               G7       C             C7
that you're here with me and I'm here with you.
  F                                 C
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above-a
     F       G7         C
will send me someone to la-va
 
[Verse 4]
C                        G7
Oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea
F                      C             G7
all together now their lava grew and grew.
   C                              G7
No longer are they all alone with aloha as their new home
F                       C                 G7
and when you visit them this is what they sing. 
 
[Chorus 2]
F                C
I have a dream I hope will come true 
     G               G7       C             C7
that you'll grow old with me and I'll grow old with you. 
F                                C
We thank the earth, sea, and the sky we thank too
F G7   C
I lava you
F G7   C
I lava you
F G7   C
I lava you

Lyric correction: First verse should be "He sat high above his bay" instead of "he sat above his bed" Otherwise this is great!

Amazing tab! I think that instead of in the chorus its above-a and love-a but that might just be a personal preference thing too.
