[Verse 1]
Em A7
I ate it and at once my eyes could see you
C Em
No sooner had I ooped it down
C D G B7
I felt so far off from the ground I stood on
[Verse 2]
Em A7
My legs seemed to me like high-rise buildings
C Em
My head was high up in the sky
C D G B7
My skin the sun began to fry like bacon
[Middle 8]
B7
And then somebody old appeared and asked had I come far
B7 Em
And hadn't they just seen me up on Haleakala (Haleakala)
B7
I kept on body surfing to pretend I hadn't heard
B7 Em
There was someone there beside me, swimming like Richard III
| A7 | % |
I'm still smiling (I'm still smiling)

B7
Seven naked native girls swam seven sacred pools
B7 Em
Lone-ranger smoking doobies said you're breaking all the rules
B7
Better get your clothes on or else there'll be a row
B7 Em
If it wasn't for my sunstroke I would take you on right now
| A7 | % |
I'm still smiling (I'm still smiling)
[Verse 3]
Em A7
I fell in love with my soft-hearted Hana
C Em
She entered right in through my heart
C D G B7
And now although we're miles apart, I still feel her
[Verse 4]
Em A7
She lives beneath the crater in the meadow
C Em
She grows among the fruit and grain
C D G B7
You can meet her after heavy rain has fallen
