Hula Girl at Heart
by Jimmy Buffett
Intro:
E B A E B (x2)
Verse 1:
B
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
Like a gecko behind a painting With hidden wisdom to impart
B
In a world that needs more dancing She's a hula girl at heart
F# E
Photograph shows, she is lovely Her bare feet are a work of art
F# E F# E B A E B
Her fragrance speaks of Frangipanni Yes, she's still a hula girl at heart
Verse 2:
B
With her pen and watercolors Drawing fish and butterflies
Children always seem to conjure Images they recognize
E
In the land beside the ocean Where romantics seem to dwell
B
Destiny can set in motion Ripples that turn into swells
F# E
She knows how to face the music She knows where the magic starts
F# E F# B
In a world that needs more dancing She's still a hula girl at heart
Interlude:
D#m G#m C#m F#
Song sing slow Days gone by
D#m G#m A F#
Time can't keep her Nor can I
Break:
E B A E B
Verse 3:
B
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
In this age of teeming tourists Fellow travelers know her well
B
The darling of deserted beaches Adds her rhythms in a shell
F# E
Her sensual and easy motion Seems impossible to chart
F# E F# E B A E B E B D A B
In a world that needs more dancing She's still a hula girl at heart
