From Pixar's short film "Lava". Updated March 10th 2021 with improved lyrics.
Verse:
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 F
And from his lava came this song of hope that he sang out-loud every day,
C G7
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, the sky up above
F G7 C
will send me someone to lava.
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
another volcano was listening to his song.
C G7
Every day she heard his tune. Her lava grew and grew
F C G7
because 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, the sky up above
F G7 C
will send me someone to lava.
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 done.
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 -Female-:
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.
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 alone with Aloha as their new home,
F C G7
and when you visit them, this is what they sing…
Chorus -Female + Male-:
F C
I have a dream I hope will come true.
G7
Male: That you'll grow old with me,
C
Female: and I'll grow old with you.
F C
We thank the earth, sea, and sky we thank too.
Outro:
F G7 C
I lava YOU!
F G7 C
I lava YOU!
F G7 C
I lava YOU!
Try playing the chords only on the words assigned and leaving the silence between them. It really adds a calming touch, and they sound better.
This is one of my favorite songs to play! It’s so easy and sounds really good.
the og key is – 3 btw!!!!
these chords dont sound right???
try to change the c to c major 7 it helps for me
i found that -2 sounded really nice 🙂
eek does anyone know how to quickly switch from Dm to Fm because i can play them both easily i just can’t switch it in time
Just slide your middle finger up, don’t move your index and place your pinky on the 4th fret
tbh the A chord doesnt sound right, let alone the chords in general. I had to raise my voice to fit the chords and when i normally sing i sound fairly similar to the notes he hits (like around the same octave)
instead of c i tried c major 7 and it sounds better what dyou think?
