SONG OF THE ISLANDS
By: Charles E. King
Marty Robbins
Key: F

4   4  4   4   4    4  4
Ha-wai-i isles of beau-ty
 -3*   -3    3   -1  -1   2   2   -2
Where skies are blue and love is true
  1    -2 -3  4    4   -5  -5  -5   -5
Where balm-y airs and gold-en moon-light
-5  -5  -5*  6  -5    4   -3 -3* 2 -2 -6
Ca-ress the wav-ing palms of Ho-no-lu-lu
 
 4    4   4    4     4    4    4
Your val-leys with their rain-bows
 -3*  -3    3    -1    -1  2  2   -2
Your moun-tains green, the a-zure sea
 1   -2   -3      4    4   -5   -5  -5 -5
Your fra-grant flow’rs en-chant-ing mu-sic
-5 -5  -5*  6  -5 4  -3 -3* 2 -2-6 
U-nite and sing a-lo-ha-oe to  me

REPEAT
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
