[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]
F G C
[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!

I play this on my ukelele and its sounds amazing!

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.
