I Lava You CGF (capo 5 - GDC)
A long long time ago There was a volcano�Living all alone in the middle of the sea�He sat high above his bay Watching all the couples play�And wishing that he had someone too�And from his lava came �This song of hope that he sang out loud�Every day For years and years
I have a dream I hope it will come true�That you're here with me And I am here with you�I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above�Will send me someone to lava�
Years of singing all alone Turned his lava into stone�Until he was on the brink of extinction �But little did he know That living in the sea below �Another volcano Was listening to his song�Everyday she heard his tune �Her lava grew and grew�Because she believed his song was meant for her�Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea�As he sang his song of hope for the last time
I have a dream I hope it will come true�That you're here with me And I am here with you�I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above�Will send me someone to lava
Rising from the sea below Stood a lovely volcano�Looking all around But she could not see him�He tried to sing to let her know �That she was not there alone�But with no lava, his song was all gone�He filled the sea with his tears �Watched his dreams disappear�As she remembered what his song meant to her
I have a dream I hope it will come true�That you're here with me And I am here with you�I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above�Will send me someone to lava
Oh they were so happy�To finally meet above the sea�All together now their lava grew and grew�No longer are they all alone�With Aloha as their new home�And when you go and visit them this is what they sing
I have a dream I hope it will come true
That you will grow old with me, and I will grow old with you
We thank the earth, sea, and the sky we thank too
I lava you
I lava you
I lava youuuuuuuuuuuu
Ooooooooooooo
aaaaaaaaahhhhhh

BIGGER / TUA
I was raised in a small-town kinda place�Where it is what it is and you don't complain�Where people didn't know how to listen if you asked them�It starts to make you think, "What does it matter?"�'Cause there'll always be minds that you'll never change
�So listen to your wild dreams�The ones that make you crazy�They're telling you the right things�Why we gotta think so small?�
Tiro ki tua, (ki) tua rā e�Whakarongo ki ngā wai o Roto e� Dm Gm �Kei wehi i te wehenga i tō awa� Eb F Bb�Tiro ki tua, tiro ki tua, tua�Tua, Tua, Tua, Tua
So listen to your wild dreams�The ones that make you crazy�They're telling you the right things�Why we gotta think so small?
When we can be bigger, bigger than this�Listen to that good song beating in your chest� Dm Gm�Don't be scared to stray too far from the river� Eb F Bb�You can be bigger, we can be bigger, bigger
Bigger, bigger ,bigger, bigger
Tiro ki tua, (ki) tua rā e�Whakarongo ki ngā wai o Roto e� Dm Gm �Kei wehi i te wehenga i tō awa� Eb F Bb�Tiro ki tua, tiro ki tua, tua�Tua, Tua, Tua, Tua

Puff The Magic Dragon Capo 2
G Bm C G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
C G Em
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a
A D
land called Honah Lee,
G Bm C
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal
G
Puff,
C G Em
And brought him strings and sealing wax
A D G D
and other fancy stuff.
[Chorus]
G Bm C
Oh. Puff, the magic dragon lived by the
G
sea
C G Em
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a
A D
land called Honah Lee,
G Bm C G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
C G Em
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a
A D G D
land called Honah Lee.
G Bm C
Together they would travel on a boat with
G
billowed sail
C G Em
And Jackie kept a lookout perched on
A D
Puff’s gigantic tail,
G Bm C
Noble kings and princes would bow
G
whenever they came,
C G Em
Pirate ships would lower their flags when
A D G D
Puff roared out his name. Oh!
[Chorus]
G Bm C
A dragon lives forever but not so little
G
boys
C G Em A
Painted wings and giant rings make way
D
for other toys.
G Bm C
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper
G
came no more
C G Em A
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased
D G D
his fearless roar.
G Bm C
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales
G
fell like rain,
C G Em A
Puff no longer went to play along the
D
cherry lane.
G Bm C
Without his life-long friend, Puff could
G
not be brave,
C G Em A
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped
D G D
into his cave.
[Chorus] finish with ADCGC

I’m just a puppy dog,
A happy kind of guy.
I’m not a fussy dog,
But sometimes I could cry.
When other dogs get biscuit treats
And Pal and Champ and Jellymeat
I think- That would be great!”
But you should see what’s on my plate! They give me …
Sausages and custard
Covered in mustard
Pizza three days old,
Green deli ham
With blackberry jam
Stuck to the sides of my bowl.
I get their jelly on toast
With Last week’s roast
With a slimy ice cream cone,
All mixed in and Slopped in a tin – I think I’ll find my bone!
I’ve tried to whine and bark
At supermarket time
(A slice of dog-roll Would be absolutely fine).
And even when they buy a tin,
By Wednesday there is nothing in,
So I am “priviledged”
To eat what’s rescued from the fridge.
They give me …
Sausages and custard
Covered in mustard
Pizza three days old,
Green deli ham
With blackberry jam
Stuck to the sides of my bowl.
I get their jelly on toast
With Last week’s roast
With a slimy ice cream cone,
All mixed in and Slopped in a tin – I think I’ll find my bone!
Greasy old chips
In mushroom dip
With coleslaw on the side,
Curry and rice
on Coconut slice
It makes me want to hide.
I know that liver and cake
Was a big mistake
Mouldy, spongy foam.
It tastes like pureed fruit through an old gumboot. I think I’ll find my bone!

AT LEAST I’VE GOT MY BONE!!!!
Oh no
The love, the hate
Don't hate this ain't no ordinary life
We give, we take
This ain't no temporary right
The rise, the fall
This stuff is messing with my mind
I'm up, the wall
Now I'm running for the lights
Your up, I'm on, yeah, do this every night
It's right, it's wrong, do this every single time
It’s on, I just wanna touch the sky
CAUSE NOW I SEE THE...
White line, and blue skies
Who told you that we can't fly
Uh uh yeah
White line, all the time
Who told you that we can't fly
White line, and blue skies
Who told you that we can't fly
Uh uh yeah
White line, all the time
Who told you that we can't fly, ohh yeaaaah
(trumpet solo)
Ohh yeah, some time you can flyyyyy...
Stronger days, Bitter nights,
Cold hands, Warm heart,
Walking round,
But you're staring at the ground,
Take hold, fall apart.
Little by little,
Someone blows the whistle,
It don't matter in the end,
So just slow it all down, slow it all down. (seniors)
You gotta take it easy, easy,
Live your life, (seniors)
Take on any kind of weather you and me together,
We'll be fine,
You gotta take it easy, easy
Take your time, (seniors)
It's just you and me together any kind of weather,
We'll be fine,
Open road, broken down,
Bright lights, dark town,
Stand up then you fall again,
You will find a way in the end.
You gotta take it easy, easy,
Live your life,
Take on any kind of weather you and me together,
We'll be fine,
You gotta take it easy, easy,
Take your time,
It's just you and me together any kind of weather,
We'll be fine,
Little by little,
Someone blows the whistle,
It don't matter in the end,
So just slow it all down, slow it all down.
You gotta take it easy, easy,
Live your life,
Take on any kind of weather you and me together,
We'll be fine,
You gotta take it easy, easy
Take your time,
It's just you and me together any kind of weather,
We'll be fine

We can live our wildest dreams!

A Million Dreams
I close my eyes and I can see
A world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, if they call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design
'
Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
There's a house we can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Run away to a world that we design
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
For the world we're gonna make
