Intro:
C , B5/C,F, G
Verse:
C
A man darkened our doorway
He said he?s here to share the good news
He had a smile straight from the movies
But when I looked down at his shoes
             F
There were holes and they showed his toes
                                     C
The right was left, the black was brown
         G                                       F
And later on in the garage I couldn?t find my chainsaw
                        C                               G
In the distance I heard trees just falling down
C

I was underneath the city
I was riding around on trains
Fell asleep before Nassau Ave. and I ended up in Maine
        F
There were big tall trees and rocky coastline

                               C
And the waves came in so wild
        G
But for all the natural beauty there
        F
 were still so many kids
                C                                               G
That were asking me for something that could help them to get high

Chorus:
        F
We?re all good, we?re all bad

        C
We?re euphoric and we?re sad

        F                               C
We roll the rock away and check the tomb
        A
We?re awake and we?re aware
        C
That we?re confused and cold and scared
        F                               G
And the cross reminds us that He died for me and you
                                C
Woke up in the ocean with the Honolulu Blues

Verse:
C
Joan Didion and Graham Greene
Said roughly the same thing
You bring your Jesus to the jungle
Try to teach people to sing
             F
All those hymns that you love
                                                       C
Because you learned them as a kid and they make perfect sense to you
        G
There?s a point in time when thousands die
        F
And you?ve got to maybe think
                  C                             G
that maybe Jesus isn?t getting through
        C
We?re freezing in the forest
There?s no wood to heat the house
We took axes to the furniture
We pulled the floorboards out
        F
There?s animals scratching at the door
                                C
And they know we?re gonna die
G                                       F
There were big tall trees and rocky coastline
                          C                     G
And the waves came in so wild

Chorus:
        F
We?re all wild, we?re all free
        C
We?re all back from Tennessee
        F                                       C
With the souvenirs to prove that we were there
        A
We?re flying around in planes
        C
We?re riding around in trains
 F                              G
Searching out those panoramic views
                                C
Woke up in the ocean with the Honolulu Blues

        F
We?re all good, we?re all bad
        C
We?re euphoric and we?re sad
        F                               C
We roll the rock away and check the tomb
        A
We?re awake and we?re alarmed
        C
At the scars scratched in your arm
        F                                       G
The cross reminds us that He died for me and you
                        C
Woke up in Oahu with the Honolulu Blues
