Hula Girl at Heart
by Jimmy Buffett
Intro:
E MajorE BB A augmentedA E MajorE BB (x2)
Verse 1:
BB
She owns a window to the ocean She has a pipeline to the sky
But earthly creatures rarely notice When guardian angels pass them by
E MajorE
Like a gecko behind a painting With hidden wisdom to impart
BB
In a world that needs more dancing She's a hula girl at heart
F#F# E MajorE
Photograph shows, she is lovely Her bare feet are a work of art
F#F# E MajorE F#F# E MajorE BB A augmentedA E MajorE BB
Her fragrance speaks of Frangipanni Yes, she's still a hula girl at heart
Verse 2:
BB
With her pen and watercolors Drawing fish and butterflies
Children always seem to conjure Images they recognize
E MajorE
In the land beside the ocean Where romantics seem to dwell
BB
Destiny can set in motion Ripples that turn into swells
F#F# E MajorE
She knows how to face the music She knows where the magic starts
F#F# E MajorE F#F# BB
In a world that needs more dancing She's still a hula girl at heart
Interlude:
D#mD#m G# minorG#m C# minorC#m F#F#
Song sing slow Days gone by
D#mD#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA F#F#
Time can't keep her Nor can I

Verse 3:
BB
She has worn a wealth of costumes Hula skirts to wedding gowns
Lived in cities walked through jungles Always sees the sun go down
E MajorE
In this age of teeming tourists Fellow travelers know her well
BB
The darling of deserted beaches Adds her rhythms in a shell
F#F# E MajorE
Her sensual and easy motion Seems impossible to chart
F#F# E MajorE F#F# E MajorE BB A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE BB D MajorD A augmentedA BB
In a world that needs more dancing She's still a hula girl at heart
