F#          Bb7b5  Eb7                        Ab7
On a little bamboo bridge  By the waters of Kalua,

          C#7                               F#
Beneath Hawaiian skies  I fell in love with you.

F#          Bb7b5  Eb7                         Ab7
On a little bamboo bridge   By the waters of Kalua,

           C#7                        F#
We found a paradise,   A paradise for two.

              B      Bm        F#  
While we were gazing in    the water,

    B       Bm                 F#  
The silvery ripples kissed the shore,

           Ab7                     
And your reflection in the water

                                    C#7
Seemed to say you'd be mine for evermore.

F#          Bb7b5  Eb7                         Ab7
On a little bamboo bridge   By the waters of Kalua,   

            C#7                                         F#
You made my dreams come true,  Sweetheart, when I found you!
