Intro:  D     D G A  A G D  (repeat) 

D         G  A 
IA ORA TE NA-TURA                  
  A   G D         G  A 
E MEA A-ROFA TEIE AO NEI 
D         G  A 
IA ORA TE NA-TURA 
  A   G D         G  A 
E MEA A-ROFA TEIE AO NEI 

  D                      C 
I know I don't get there often enough 
       D               C 
But God knows I surely try 
       D             C 
It's a magic kind of medicine 
        G       F     D 
That no doctor  could prescribe 

          D                    C 
I used to rule my world from a pay phone 
    D                C 
And ships out on the sea 
        D 
But now times are rough 
         C 
And I got too much stuff 
       G           F           D 
Can't explain  the likes   of me 

Chorus: 
      D               G   A          D 
     But there's this one particular harbor 
        G       A      D 
     So far but yet so near 
             G       A            D    G 
     Where I see the days as they fade away 
         G         A    D 
     And finally   disappear 
                                    A 
          But now I think about the good times 
                                D 
          Down in the Caribbean sunshine 
                                   A 
          In my younger days I was so bad 
                                 G   A  D 
          Laughin' about all the fun we had 
                                       A 
          I've seen enough to feel the world spin 
                                          D 
          Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins 
                                         A 
          Listen to the drummers and the night sounds 
                                         G     A  D 
          Listen to the singers make the world go round 

(SOLO repeats Chorus chords) 
A           D 
IA ORA TE NATURA 
      A             D 
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI 
A         D 
IA ORA TE NATURA 
      A             D 
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI 

D               C 
Lakes below the mountains 
D               C 
Flow into the sea 
     D               C 
Like oils applied to canvas 
 G    F       D 
They permeate through me 

      D          G   A          D 
And there's that one particular harbor 
      G    A      D 
Sheltered from the wind 
          G       A            D    G 
Where the children play on the shore each day 
     G       A      D 
And all are safe within 

D      G          A          D 
A most mysterious calling harbor 
   G       A      D 
So far but yet so near 
        G       A            D          G 
Where I see the day when my hair's full gray 
     G       A      D 
And I finally disappear 

A           D 
IA ORA TE NATURA               translation: 
      A             D 
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI            NATURE LIVES (LIFE TO NATURE) 
A         D 
IA ORA TE NATURA                   HAVE PITY FOR THE EARTH 
D      A            D 
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI            (LOVE THE EARTH)
