Another Kanaka Like Me

Words & Music:

Traditional Hawaiian

 

D                    A7 D

When you sail away from Kalapana,

         A7               D

When you sail away from Hawaii,

             D             D7             G

Please don't say, "Goodbye", just say, "Aloha".

        D        A7               D

You will never find another kanaka like me.

 

CHORUS:

             A7                             D

No, you will never find another kanaka like me, babe.

        A7                        D

You will never find another kanaka like me.

             D             D7             G

Please don't say, "Goodbye", just say, "Aloha".

        D        A7               D

You will never find another kanaka like me.

 

We made love on old Kalapana,

And we strolled beneath the palms at Waikiki.

And you promised me you'd always love me,

But soon your love was just a memory.

 

CHORUS:

 

'Neath that golden moon on Molokai,

When you did that hula dance at Kaunakakai,

And you took my hand, but you never told me,

Somehow, I knew this was our last goodbye.

 

CHORUS:
