LYRICS AND CHORDS
Intro: C G7 F [C] G7
C G7
A long long time ago there was a volcano
F [C] G7
Living all alone in the middle of the sea
C G7
He sat high above his bay watching all the couples play
F [C] G7
And wishing that he had someone too
C G7
And from his lava came this song of hope that he sang
F [C] G7
Out loud everyday for years and years
CHORUS
F C
I have a dream, I hope will come true
G7 C
That you're here with me, and I'm here with you
F C
I wish that the earth sea and the sky up above
[F] [G7] C
Will send me someone to lava
BREAK: F G7 C
VERSE
C G7
Years of singing all alone turned his lava into stone
F [C] G7
Until he was on the brink of extinction
C G7
But little did he know that living in the sea below
F [C] G7
A-nother volcano was listening to his song
C G7
Everyday she heard his tune her lava grew and grew
F [C] G7
Be-cause she believed his song was meant for her
C G7
Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea
F [C] G7
As he sang his song of hope for the last time
CHORUS
F C
I have a dream, I hope will come true
G7 C
That you're here with me, and I'm here with you
F C
I wish that the earth sea and the sky up above
[F] [G7] C
Will send me someone to lava
BREAK: C
VERSE
C G7
Rising from the sea below stood a lovely volcano
F [C] G7
Looking all around but she could not see him
C G7
He tried to sing to let her know that she was not there alone
F [C] G7
But with no lava his song was all gone
C G7
He filled the sea with his tears and watched his dreams disappear
F [C] G7
As she remembered what his song meant to her
CHORUS
F C
I have a dream, I hope will come true
G7 C
That you're here with me, and I'm here with you
F C
I wish that the earth sea and the sky up above
[F] [G7] C
Will send me someone to lava
BREAK: C
VERSE
C G7
Oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea
F [C] G7
All together now their lava grew and grew
C G7
No longer are they all alone with aloha as their new home
F [C] G7
And when you visit them this is what they sing
CHORUS
F C
I have a dream, I hope will come true
G7 C
That you'll grow old with me and I'll grow old with you
F C
I wish that the earth sea and the sky up above
F C
We thank the earth sea the sky we thank too
END

Am I the only one that breaks down into tears when I hear this song? đ
My mom doesđ I'm learning it for her
Olivia jo đ Every. Single. Time. â€ïž
yes you are
Im glad im not the only one
I kinda got hurt when i heard this song...it makes u feel sad and missy...đ
i started playing the uke about a month and a half ago; this was the first song i tried to learn but i couldn't get it. i thought i would never be able to switch chords fast enough and sing along, but now i can do both! i'm even having to slow down to match the correct pace. thank you for this tutorial - you are an amazing teacher. :)
serena grace c
serena grace the
there is also "Uke On!".
serena grace this song is so fucking is easy dude LMAO
serena grace hey not to worry , I thought it was a bad Ukulele, so I bought a new one... And it wasn't any good aether. So I bought a 3ed and took a class , then thing's..Got better... improved.
CYNTHIA! Thank you thank you thank you! I picked up ukulele recently and have been loving it! I needed something for myself, you see my daughter was diagnosed with a very rare disease when she was 8 months old and lost all kidney function, turning our lives upside down, starting dialysis and struggling to raise a medically dependent toddler. Me and her discovered this song and have spent HOURS bonding over it. She loves it, as do I, but those moments we have where we hold eachother and listen to such lovely, heartfelt music, moments without having to think of dialysis, meds, injections and doctors - it kept us tethered. Kept me going. She finally got her kidney in October and I have learned 8 songs for myself but just found this and cant WAIT to play it for her. She is going to love it! Sorry for the long story it just means SO much to me that I can play this for her and wanted you to know exactly what it means that you have it here for us so clearly, simply and brightly! :)
No apology needed! Your story touched me, and I just wanted to wish you, your daughter and your family all the very best.
I hope that the years since your comment on here have been kind and prosperous to you all, and that the years ahead will continue to be so.
Did you stay on your journey with your uke? I have been learning it for about 5 months now, and am loving it. â€
You low key look like the lady volcano! Thanks for the tutorial btw(:
Juliana Rosario same with ma opinion
I watched this after watching the music video and thought she can literally be the lady volcano! She even sounds like her! â„ïž
@@FriendhiraDinda me too
So cute, yes she does!
I didn't even realize that until I started reading comments
I totally make the explosion sound effects when I play too! lol
gahahahahhahahahahahhahaaha
Mish Coquilla not even that funny đ
Same. :)
Same
Hahaha me too đđ
OMG You can play this at the perfect speed

This is one of the first ukulele tutorials I tried learning, now coming back a year of practice later I can play along!
Pixar purposely made this song super easy to play so that parents could play it for their children and kids could learn it too. I hate how genius Pixar is.
lolz
guysongirls why do you hate hiw genius she is she just likes songs
Przemyslaw Laciak he means he hates how genius pixar is
Yeah. Thatâs why I love it. Itâs catchy, I love the lyrics, and itâs so easy to play!
Your so meanđđđđđđđđđđđđđđĄđĄđĄđĄđĄđĄđĄđĄ
Tutorial needed: how to sing without crying
đâ°đ»đâ°
*think about happy ending, focus on happy ending*
the happy ending tears me up the most xD
Have you found it? I keep weeping at the end...
yes hahaha
When the internet makes me feel like people as a whole suck, it's videos like this that remind me that people can be amazing. You help me regain my faith in humanity.
I can't thank you enough for this. I grew up in Hawaii, and was told back in 4th grade that I am awful at playing the uke. After that, i actually hadn't touched a musical instrument at all until this Christmas. I decided to give it a try again, and with the help of your videos, I'm GETTING IT!!!! I honestly can't thank you enough for putting these amazing videos together and giving me confidence to try again!!! Many mahalos!!
Nope. You are not alone. I donât know how to sing this through without breaking voice. I love it!
I can't believe that 38 people did not like this video! They are either deaf or jealous, you did a beautiful job. Thank You!
Thomas Stanford probably because it's so fast! I can't seem that fast yet. But she never says it was an easy song to play... like for beginners.
Itâs up to 295. Iâm sure that if someone made a video of curing cancer there would still be trolls thumbing down.
Actually, now its 355.
Roselle Haywood well no crap time happens
Hi
My 4 year old is obsessed with this song! He is trying to learn uke, I think he's working his way up to this song, haha! So far he's got down C chord, working on F, and daily he asks me when he gets to learn G7, lol! Thanks for breaking the song down for us! He loves watching you play!
+Ruth L thats so cute! tell him I said keep it up!
Thatâs cute! I hope he learns to play this song soon.
Ruth L I
Woah! 7 years now, time is fast.
I'm not sure if anyone will see this, but I've been playing this song every day so that I can practice my strumming. Thank you so much for this!!!
We see
I'm almost sure about the intro/verse now, and I got my ukulele two days ago. I can't feel my fingers, but it's worth it in the endXD I'm sure I'll be able to learn it, so I can play it without looking at either the ukulele or the chordpaper. It is because of you that I bought my first uke, and I already love it. You are a very good teacher! Thank you for being on youtube!!!
Love your videos!!!
I Lava you i lavaaaaa youuuuu!
đ Yup! She is!
Emma StĂžve donât strum super hard your fingers wonât hurt as much in the end
@@sugajar7828 I think they meant from pressing down chords but that works too
This is my third day learning how to play the ukulele and this song has inspired me to go on even further it's sweet and simple! It's perfect to learn C G7 and F!
TrueScore I donât care I canât press any link below

Cynthia, I have to thank you. I have been self learning uke for 9 months now, including using youtube. Until this week I had not come across you! I have gone from blundering through songs to playing and singing whole songs. Thank you so much, you are an amazing teacher. You have helped me so, so much, I cannot believe how much I have improved just this week. You have a beautiful voice and are so sweet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart x. Plus this song, just gorgeous.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Iâve been watching all your beginner videos but this one Iâve started slowly (.75 speed) then full speed. Then singing along to you play. Then playing and singing. Its so much fun! I teach in a school and the children love this short so to play it is a real joy!

would you do a tutorial now for Moana's "how far I'll go"?
didn' t you almost cry hearing this song! ;( haha...
Gerardo Olvera Puente I did too
Gerardo Olvera Puente more than almost.
I kinda thought there was a piece of hair on my screen I was blowing my phone saying "WHY ISNT IT COMING OFF"
Hi
Almost? I always cry when I hear it, and I'm married. Maybe it's because it took what seemed like forever for us to find each other and there was a long time when I'd given up hope, then 5 years of a long distance relationship with my wife.
I know you recorded this tutorial so many years ago, but I found it today. I found it amazingly beautiful. Good job Cynthia. Thanks
Oh my gosh. Was looking for a simple Mele Kalikimaka tab for my kiddo, and now we've sat and watched 4 vids, and I am just so tickled about how adorable you are, and how accessible you make the music. Love it!
Thanks so much for posting this! How long does it take before I can play and sing it at the same time? haha It's so hard to do both!
is it down down up up down up? for strumming?
Yeah

We are learning this during hurricane Dorian in FL (2019) on our ukulele. This will keep us great company when the electricity goes out soon. You are so beautiful with the volcano sounds added! My son is 11 and almost got it with this tutorial! Thank you!!!!
I love playing this song with you. So fun! It's great that you list the chords, show the chords and lyrics. It makes it much easier to follow along.
Omg its too fast for međ„ I really want to learn to play ukulele đ so pretty.

Can you do a little slower mix? I think you did that fast and I think your the only good ukulele lesson person..... So can you please do one slower?
+Reagan Getman if you have updated your CZcams player, you can change the video speed to fast or slow. If you haven't updated your player just look it up on CZcams and someone will show you.

After 3 weeks of continuously watching this video today I played lava all the way through and I lost it thank you so much youâre videos make it so a guy like me can play something this beautiful thank you
I've just started "playing" the ukulele. Your lessons have been very helpful because you go slow and clearly demonstrate various skills that I've been struggling! I've been practicing about 20 minutes a day plus have added finger exercises! Thank you so much!
Had so much fun playing along with this song & easy chords đ
This was my first song to learn on the ukelele. I wish there were more videos like this that had the words with the cords. Then the cords shown in the side... so so helpful!! Please do more like this!
This is sooooo beautiful! Practicing every day.... MAHALO, thanks so much for posting this!
I enjoyed playing this song. Thank you Cynthia! â€â€â€
