         D      A    G
I think highly of Hawaii
        D            A     G
I got a cheap flight and a plan
           Bm        A        G
So head's up Nancy, don't get antsy
           D      A      G
While I'm working on my tan

                   D
Cuz it's crystal clear to me
A  G              D       A     G
A weekend in Waikiki is what I need
     G       A     Bm     A         E
Yeah I could use a sip of island serenity
           D/F#      G    Bm
Cuz when I need a vacation
             A        D
I need some vitamin sea

Chorus:
 D/F# G           Bm         A
Alo -ha, let the good tides roll
 D/F# G       Bm   A
Alo -ha and maha - lo
           D/F#     G
When I walk on the beach
        Bm     A
I never wanna leave
           Em        D/F#  G
Cuz when I get kinda salty
             A
I need some vitamin sea
       D/F#     G
Yeah I gotta go now
          Bm           A
Cuz I'm a little worn down
          D/F#           G
And I'm a little burned out
      Bm       A
And I need a vacation
 D/F# G           Bm         A
Alo - ha, let the good tides roll
           Em        D/F#   G
Cuz when I get kinda salty
             A
I need some vitamin sea

Mm-mm, do-do-do, ooh-ooh
Sitting calmly by a palm tree
With a lemonade in my hand
I ain't concerned if I sunburn
I'll catch all the rays I can

'Cause when my gusto gets low
Then that's when I know I have a tropical deficiency
And a little sand between my toes is the remedy
'Cause when I need a vacation
I need some vitamin sea

Chorus

     D
So BRB

C         B/D#
I've gone coastal
Em          A          D
Cuz when I feel a bit blue
            B
I head for Honolulu
Em        A
And I am happy as a clam
D/F# G                  A
Mm - mm, Doo doo doo oo oo

            D
And so I'll put up my feet
A    G                    D      A      G
And tell all my troubles to the ocean breeze
                  Bm        A            E
Cuz sitting on a beach is cheaper than therapy
           D/F#      G    Bm
And when I need a vacation
                 A              D
I think you'll know where I'll be

Chorus:
Aloha, let the good tides roll
Yeah, the voice of the ocean
It speaks to my soul
Where all my worries went
Well, I guess I don't know
So let the good tides roll

I need a vacation
'Cause I'm kinda low
Need a vacation

Chorus:
Yeah, I gotta go now
'Cause I'm a little worn down
And I'm a little burned out
And I need a vacation
Aloha, let the good tides roll
Aloha, let's go!
'Cause when I get kinda salty
I need some vitamin sea

Yeah (I need a vacation)
I need some vitamin sea
(I need a vacation)
Da-dada-dada-da-da-da
I'm on vacation
Da-dada-dada-da-da-da
And I think I'm gonna stay forever
Da-dada-dada-da-da-da
Yeah, I'm on vacation
Da-dada-dada-da-da-da
And I think I'm gonna stay forever
