Star Of Gladness

(Performed by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole)

(G) Raindrops they hamper my vision (G)(G)

Falling down and cutting incisions,
(D7) In my mind, while we (G) sail away our time (D7)
(G) Blow makani, shout jubilation (G)(G)
Carry us down to our destination
(D7) O wikiwiki, a ke(G)ala Tahiti (D7)
(G) Millions of stars up in the sky (G)(G)
Looking up they all make us high, but
(D7) Hklea, (Hklea) Star of (G) Gladness (you're the happy star)
(D7) Hklea, Star of (G) Gladness
Stand beside me and be my friend (G)(G)
Make me smile and laugh again, yes
(D7) Hklea, (Hklea) Star of (G) Gladness (you're the happy star)
(D7) Hklea, Star of (G) Gladness (G7)
(C) Lift your bow, your hull (G) slides through the sea (G7)
(C) Guide Hklea, Lord we (G) ask you please
In (D7) this we pray, Lord to (G) show us the way
Ah, (D7) Hklea, (Hklea) Star of (G) Gladness (you're the happy star)
(D7) Hklea, Star of (G) Gladness
(G) Raindrops they hamper my vision (G)(G)
Falling down and cutting incisions,
(D7) In my mind, while we (G) sail away our time (D7)
(G) Blow makani, shout jubilation (G)(G)
Carry us down to our destination
(D7) O wikiwiki, a ke(G)ala Tahiti (D7)
(G) Millions of stars up in the sky (G)(G)
Looking up they all make us high, but
(D7) Hklea, (Hklea) Star of (G) Gladness (you're the happy star)
(D7) Hklea, Star of (G) Gladness (you're the happy star)
