D G A D
Take the long winding road rising up from the sea
D Bm E7 A
To a place where the roots of my family run deep
D G A A#dim Bm Bm/A
On the side of this mountain my grandfathers sleep
G A D C D C
In this place I call home
D G A D
In this place where my mother and father were born
D Bm E7 A
I would join them in time, on a neighbor island shore
D G A A#dim Bm
On the road from the start, where I lived all these years
G D/F# E7 A7
But right next to my heart there’s a place for you here
chorus:
D G G A D
Holualoa In the heart of Hualalai
Bm E7 A
At the top of the road that winds from the sea to the sky
D G
Laid back cool in the coffee trees
A Bm Bm/A
Ridin’ high on a Kona breeze
Em D/F# G A7
The roadside ginger no longer there but fragrance lingers in the air
Em D/F# G A7
The giant mangos still hold on In places where they’re left alone
Em D/F# G A7
Cotton clouds bring gentle rains and rainbows greet the sun again
D G D G D G A D C D C D C D C
Holualoa, Holualoa, Holualoa, this place I call home
That long winding road brought me home from the sea
To a love kept alive in a young child’s memory
Where Mamalahoa highway and Hualalai meet
Either way, it’s a place I call home...
There are times when it seems nothing changed from before
People still talkin’ story by the ol’ Paul’s Place store
The mauka road is lined with prideful walls of hand set stone
In this place I call home ...
D C D C
Holualoa Holualoa
