Verse 1:

Dm7      G9                 Dm7       G9
  Do believe I'm going to clap my hands
    Dm7        G9        Dm7  G9
Think I might tap my feet
       G9         Dm7      G9
Put together a one-man band
          Dm7         G9        Dm7
Take a walkin' on down the street

Chorus:

G9        Gm9 C7      Gm9  C7
Have a one-man parade
Gm9        C7    Gm9   C7  A7sus  A7
Nobody needs to know
         Dm7       G9         Dm7        G9
Because I'm right good in holding on to secrets
        Dm7       G9         Dm7  G9
And I don't believe they show

Verse 2:
Dm7          G9           Dm7   G9
  All I want is a little dog
      Dm7          G9         Dm7  G9  Dm7
To be walking at my right hand
           G9            Dm7              G9
Taking a breeze just as free as you please
       Dm7            G9        Dm7     G9
Maybe checking out occasional garbage can

Chorus:

Gm9            C7         Gm9     C7
Talking bout a one man dog, y'all
Gm9            C7   Gm9   C7  A7sus
Nobody's friend but mine
 A7     Dm7         G9            Dm7           G9
Hey now, you can say that he's looking kind of funky
      Dm7              G9             Dm7
But I do believe he suits me just fine

Bridge:
        B7sus4    B7      Em
We were on the road again
        A7sus      A7      Dm7
I was wondering what to do
     Dm7      G9       Dm7              G9
Ah but Hanalei, it was pouring down rain
 Dm7       G9           Dm7
Baby she had the low down blues

Verse 3:

G9    Dm7      G9             Dm7         G9
Hey now, I was looking for my walking cane
Dm7         G9          Dm7  G9
Tying on my highway shoes
Gm9              C7         Gm9      C7
Thinking 'bout a one man parade, y'all
   Gm9     C7      Gm9  C7 A7sus  A7
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, hey
Dm7    G9             Dm7     G9
  I'm right good at holding on
    Dm7   G9   Dm7    G9
Holding on, holding on

Hear rain, buckets (It's raining, Hanalei)
