Swinging Hula girl

Swingin' Hula Girl

Strum is basically country/syncopated: sounds like Boom, chicka Boom, chicka Boom, chicka Boom.

Em
Out on an island in the middle of the sea
B7
There's a swingin' hula girl that waits for me
Em Am
Her eyes are softer than the moonlight on the sand
B7 Em
I want to be her swingin' hula man

Chorus
Am Em
My swingin' hula, I'm actin' like a fool-a
B7 Em
Where did you go to school-a to learn to dance that way
Am Em
Your moves excite me, I want you I mean nightly
B7 Em
Do you think I might be your hula man some day?

Up a semitone - That means one fret dude. If you feel like it that is, but it adds a dramatic sense of 'ai kapu about the whole thing, ya dig daddy-o?

Fm
I heard the pounding of the drums not far away
C7
Her father told me that I really shouldn't stay
Fm Bbm
We said goodbye because they said our love was wrong
C7 Fm
We were two swingers, swingin' right along

Chorus
My swingin' hula, I'm actin' like a fool-a
Where did you go to school-a to learn to dance that way
Your moves excite me, I want you I mean nightly
Do you think I might be your hula man some day?

I heard the pounding of the drums not far away
Her father told me that I really shouldn't stay
We said goodbye because they said our love was wrong
We were two swingers, swingin' right along

Chorus
My swingin' hula, I'm actin' like a fool-a
Where did you go to school-a to learn to dance that way
Your moves excite me, I want you I mean nightly
Do you think I might be your hula man some day?
Your hula man some day?
Your hula man some day?

  1. It sounds good going up a semi tone, but you didn't include in for the chorus.
