A
Whether your in L.A.,
Sunny laid back L.A.,
Whether your in New York,
Comfort 'round your block,
E
Whether your in the U.K.,
Where the sky is dark,
And the grass is kinda green,
You know like central park,
D
Still my favourite place in this whole wide world,
Has got to be in the middle of the ocean floor,
A
I see you pokin' out the ocean paradise on earth,
The fiftieth state, what!? Hawaii.
A
oohhh
E
oohhh
D
I wanna dip into somethin different,
oh oh oh,
a nuclear disaster might be on our way,
A
but I don't care I'm in the USA,
A
Whether we're drunk or stoned or we're sober and old,
If I'm with you I'm a happy man,
E
If you feel safe and cold while you count your gold,
If your problem is you can't find your remote control,
D
Say, my favourite person in this whole wide world,
Is a woman who could understand every word,
A
And when she speaks to me she makes me see the world,
As my favorite place, Hawaii,
A
We got it made
E
ohhhh
yes I know
D
Can we go
A
by plane or boat
E
ohhhhhh
A
Whether you take it slow or you let me go,
Whether you tell me somethin that I did not know,
E
Whether your neat and polite or you scream and fight,
Whether you keep something from me that I would not like,
D
Still my favourite attitude in this world so far,
Is the friendly spirit of an iron heart,
A
I like the way folks are in this most special place,
I don't care what happens I'm taking a plane,
A
