Great road song from 1971. Hope you like my rendition!
I re[D]member to this day
the [G] bright red [A7] Georgia [D] clay
How it stuck to the tires after the [A] summer rain

the [G] wheat fields [A7] of St. [D] Paul
And the morning we got caught robbing from an old [A] hen
Ol Mc[D]Donald, he made us work
But then he [G] paid us for [A7] what it was [D] worth
Another tank of gas and

![A Medley for Mom
My mother passed away this past January at the age of 91. In loving memory of her, I arranged a medley of three songs for her funeral Mom by (Lena Machado), Ill Always Love My Mama (by the Intruders), and Wind Beneath My Wings (made famous by Bette Midler). I sang while playing the ukulele but could barely finish due to the rush of the emotion I felt. For I wont ever forget her gentleness despite having to work hard to raise her big family. Thanks, Mom, and rest in peace, love, and aloha.
Here are the chords I used for Mom (I changed the lyrics slightly for the funeral):
[Dm] Mom, I love [G7] you, yes I [C] do [Am7]
[Dm] Wait for me, [G7] mom, be home real [C] soon [Am7]
[E7] I never knew how [Am] much you meant to me
[D7] Now that Im so many [G7] miles a [Dm7]way from [G7] you
[Dm] Only God [G7] knows when and [C] where well meet a[Am7]gain
To [C7] hold you in my arms once [Dm7] more
To hear your [F#°] voice, to [C] see [E7] your [A7] smile
Oh, [Dm7] God, do [G7] please keep my [C] mom A Medley for Mom](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o5XXn_QHjBM/mqdefault.jpg)

![Honolulu City Lights(Keola Beamer) ukulele cover
Anyone who has lived in Hawaii knows the sadness of leaving the islands and can relate to this song, one of the best songs ever written in and about Hawaii. Young people might not quite understand the third verse, but this song was written during the days when it was possible for family and friends to go right up to the departure gate at the airport to bid someone aloha.
Although I left Hawaii in 1988 (at age 31), my leaving only deepened my love and appreciation for the islands and it makes my return visits that much sweeter.
The video comes from a karaoke laser disc that features Hawaii hits, and Im happy to share more hula performed by the beautiful Kanoe Miller.
[intro: E7 A ]
[A] Looking out upon the [E] city lights
[G] And the stars above the [D] ocean
[F] Got my ticket for the [A] midnight [F#m] plane
And it’s not [E7] easy to leave a[A]gain
[A] Took my clothes and put them [E] in my bag
[G] Try not to think just yet of [D] leaving
[F] Looking out into the [A] city [F#m] lights
And it’s not [E7] easy to leave a[A]gain [ Em7 - A7 ]
Chorus:
[D] Each [E7] time Hono[A]lulu city [D] lights
[F#m] Stir up [B7] memories in [E] me
[D] Each [E7] time Hono[A]lulu city [D] lights
[E7] Will bring me back a[A]gain
Bridge:
[C] You are my [G] island [A] sunset
And [C] you are my [G] island [A] rain
[A] Put on my shoes and light a [E] cigarette
[G] Wondering which of my friends will [D] be there
[F] Standing with their leis a[A]round my [F#m] neck
It’s not [E7] easy to leave a[A]gain [ Em7 - A7 ]
[D] Each [E7] time Hono[A]lulu city [D] lights
[F#m] Stir up [B7] memories in [E] me
[D] Each [E7] time Hono[A]lulu city [D] lights
