Ia ora te natura 
       B    A       E
E mea arofa teie ao nei 
B      A    E
Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei  

  E                      D
I know I don't get there often enough 
        E              D
But God knows I surely try 
       E             D
It's a magic kind of medicine 
        A      G        E
That no doctor could prescribe

A   G   E 

          E                    D
I used to rule my world from a pay phone 
    E                D
And ships out on the sea 
        E                          D
But now times are rough, and I got too much stuff 
      A           G        E
Can't explain the likes of me 
 
                 A      B7      E
But there's this one particular harbour 
   A       B7     E
So far but yet so near 
        A       B7           E     C#m
Where I see the days as they fade away 
    A     B7     E
And finally disappear 

                          B7
But now I think about the good times 
                      E
Down in the Caribbean sunshine 
                         B7
In my younger days I was so bad  
                       E   A  E
Laughin' about all the fun we had 
                 
                             B7
I've seen enough to feel the world spin 
                                E
Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins 
                               B7
Listen to the drummers and the night sounds 
                               E     A   E
Listen to the singers make the world go 'round

E               D
Lakes below the mountains 
E             D
Flow into the sea 
     E               D
Like oils applied to canvas 
     A    G           E
They permeate through me 

                 A      B7      E
And there's that one particular harbour 
A         B7       E
Sheltered from the wind  
          A        B7          E          C#m
Where the children play on the shore each day 
    A      B7       E
And always safe within 

        A       B7      E
Most mysterious calming harbour 
   A       B7     E
So far but yet so near 
      A       B7          E           C#m
I can see the day when my hair's full gray 
      A      B7    E
And I finally disappear 

[Outro]
(As much as you want!  I didn't put the other words becasue I don't have Nadirah singing with me!)
