Hula-La Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Tho[A]ugh[D]t h[A]e heard
[D]whispering
outside the diving [A]bell...
Sounded [F#m]like h[D]is little sister
laugh[A]ing
(When she was ly[D]ing with the glass
snakes in the yard -
When she was smiling over
pretty cakes).

[Verse 2]
High above on the bright side of [D]the tether,
[A]
[D]The captain breaks into a
shore- leave- grin.
He [A]thought the swish[D]ing of her grass
skirt sounded like whispering,
Sounded like, "Hush,
now." [G]Hu [D]la-[Em][D]
[G]la.[D]
[Em][D][A]

[Verse 3]
The [D]clouds were lit from the [A]inside,
[D]Flickered like jack- o- lantern [A]light.
[D]She was breathing smoke
rings like little lassoes.
He was bobbing like a bird

[Verse 4]
on the edge of his glass.
[D]Far below on the quiet end of the teth[A]er,
He [D]blinks his lids under the
crush of green water...
[A]The[D] murky glow of
the candles on a cake...
Hears the hum of "Hush, now." [G]Hu [D]la- [Em]la.[D][G][D][Em]
