Anybody have the chords and lyrics to this? It's from his "Cosmic Cowboy Souvenir" album. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ok, I got the words if anyone is interested in them, but I still need the chords. Tough to figure out.

I guess it would help to post the lyrics, wouldn't it?

HONOLULU

When I was three I went to Honolulu,
Dad wore aloha shirts, Mom wore a muu-muu
The centipedes are all that I remember,
I think I dropped my toy drum in the cinders
Down into the mouth of some volcano near Honolulu

Granddaddy used to fight in the Pacific Fleet;
Grandma used to say the air was warm and sweet.
But at last we had to move back to the States;
Back to the land of natural gas and rattlesnakes
Granddaddy stayed and opened up a laundry out in Honolulu.

My Honolulu granddaddy drove a Cadillac;
He did card tricks and told us how the deck was stacked
He told us dirty jokes about the Naval corps;
And how one day the airplanes started up a war
And how they buried bodies in long trenches in Honolulu

Oh it used to be so nice
When he took us on his knee
And told us about that tropical paradise
It was alright.

Someday I’m going back to Honolulu;
I’ll wear aloha shirts, she’ll wear a muu-muu
Hawaii calls and who am I to stop it?
I think I’ll buy a new toy drum and drop it
Down into the mouth of some volcano in Honolulu

Aloha ‘oe, aloha, boys,
Aloha ‘oe, aloha toys
Until we meet again.
