Makua 

Composed and Recorded By: Baba B on his "Local Boy" release

Intro: G - Em - C - D7  x2

     G      Em        C    D7
I remember a place before
G       Em            C     D7
Nearby moutains and shores
    G           Em            C    D7
Hawaiians once made it their home
             G         Em               C   D7
They fought hard but still they had to go


Chorus: C        D7   G           G7
        Makua I wish you'll be returned
        C         D7    G              G7 
        Give our people the chance to learn
        C             D7    G               Em
        Of your rare beauty that's hard to find
        C             D7           G    Em C D7
        You bring us joy rain or shine


All the beaches belong to you
Ranches, the caves, and (perfect sets too)?
Well our fishing grounds are the best
It puts you above all the rest

Chorus
Instrumental

Well our hunting grounds I'll never know
It's where people cannot go
Well our valleys were there, but now gone
Tell me how can they keep this going on

Chorus (Repeat last line 4x and fade)
