Verse
{C} [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] A long long time ago,		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] there was a volcano.
[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] ...Living all alone... in the		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] middle of the		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] sea.
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] He sat high above his bay,		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] watching all the couples play,
[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] ...and wishing that,		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] he had someone		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] too.
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] And from his lava came, this		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] song of hope that he sang out-		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] loud everyday,
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] for years and		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] years.

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] I wish that the earth, sea, the		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] sky up above...
will [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] send me		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] someone to		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Years of singing all alone,		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] turned his lava into stone,
[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] until... he was on the		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] brink of extinc-		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] tion.
Normal tempo
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] But little did he know that		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] living in the sea below
[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] another... volcano was		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] listening to his		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] song.
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Every day she heard his tune,		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] her lava grew and grew
[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] because she believed his		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] song was meant for		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] her.
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Now she was so ready to		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] meet... him above the sea
[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] as he sang his song of		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] hope for the last		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] time.

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] looking... all around, but		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] she could not see		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] him.
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] He tried to sing to let her know that		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] she was not there alone,
Slower
but [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] with no lava his		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] song was all		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] gone.
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] He filled the sea with his tears		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] and watched his dreams disappear
[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] as she remembered what his		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] song meant to		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] her.
