A I know a girl from an island,
she stands apart from the crowd,
A6 she loves the sea and her people,
E/A she makes her whole family proud.
A Sometimes the world seems against you,
the journey may leave a Amaj7scar,
Dadd2/A but scars can heal and reveal just
E/Awhere you are.
A The people you love will change you,
Amaj7 the things you have learned will guide you,
Dadd2/A and nothing on Earth can silence
E/A the quiet voice still inside you.
A And when that voice starts to whisper,
Amaj7“Moana, you’ve come so far.”
Dadd2/F# Moana, listen –
do you know Ewho you are?
N.C.Who am I?
F#m I’m a girl who loves my E6island,
I am the girl who loves the D6sea,
it callsD me. Esus E
F#m I am the daughter of the village chief,E
E6 we are descended from Bsus4voyagers,
who found their way across the world, B
they call me.
C I’ve delivered us to where we are,
Em I have journeyed farther,
G I am everything I’ve learned and more,
Dsus4 still, it calls me. D
And the F/Ccall isn’t out there at all, it’s inCsus4side me – C
it’s like the Dmtide
always Fmaj7/Cfalling and Bbmaj7rising. Bb6
