[Verse 1]
C
I heard one lonely mynah bird a squawking for his mate
I took my blues and bought some shoes and left my island state
F
I thought if I could fly away I could lose the blues
C
But I found out that island sand is sticking to my shoes
G7 C
I going back, yessah, cheehoo, I get the island blues
[Verse 2]
C
I don’t know why it happens when I open up my mouth
Some haole looks and hollers, hey aren't you from the south pacific?
F
they laugh at all my howzit brah's each time dat I speak
C
And what’s more this foreign soil is freezing bote my feet
G7 C
I’m goin back, yessah, chehoo, I get the island blues
[Verse 3]
C
They showed me all their cities with their buildings way up high
They’re built that way for swing and sway and bust out all da sky
F
They took me off my island so I could really see
But theres no way theyre taking da island out of me
G7 C
I going back, yessah, cheehoo, I get the island blues
[Verse 4]
C
Their broadway theaters and parking meters, that kinds jus not for me
I'd rather stay my island where da beaches is all free
F
I dont need no sweater in my sunny paradise
C
i just like my dinner with two extra scoops of rice
G7 C
I going back, yessah, cheehoo, I get the island blues
