[F] I saw you in my dream, we were walking hand in hand
On a [Bb] white sandy [Bbm] beach of Ha-[F]wai’i  [C7]  
{eos}
[F] I saw you in my dream, we were walking hand in hand
On a [Bb] white sandy [Bbm] beach of Ha-[F]wai’i  [C7]  

We [F] were playing in the sun, we were having so much fun
On a [Bb] white sandy [Bbm] beach of Ha-[F]wai’i
                                 
[C7] Sound of the ocean [Bb] soothes my restless [C7] soul
[C7] Sound of the ocean rocks me all night long  

Those [F] hot long summer days, lying there in the sun
On a [Bb] white sandy [Bbm] beach of Ha-[F]wai’i

[C7] Sound of the ocean [Bb] soothes my restless [C7] soul
[C7] Sound of the ocean rocks me all night long  

Last [F] night in my dream, I saw your face again
We were [Bb] there in the [Bbm] sun, 
On a white sandy beach of Ha-[F]wai’i
On a [Bb] white sandy [Bbm] beach of Ha-[F]wai’i

Info: From the first album we worked on with IZ, he insisted on doing a favorite of his, White Sandy Beach. IZ told us that a man named "Willie Dan" was the composer, but Mountain Apple Company could not find the publisher or composer, despite looking high and low. It was about a decade after IZ's passing that "Willie Dan" finally contacted us. One of the reasons that we couldn't find him was that "Willie Dan" was a pen name for his compositions!

Anyway, we were finally able to connect with the composer, and now Mountain Apple Company is the publisher of this great Hawaiian song. Even though IZ never got to know "Willie Dan" we're sure he's happy that their collaboration continues to bring joy all over the world.

Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole (Hawaiian pronunciation: [kəˌmɐkəˌvivoˈ�"ole], translation: "The Fearless Eyed Man") (May 20, 1959 �" June 26, 1997), also called Braddah Iz or IZ, was a Native Hawaiian singer-songwriter, musician, and Hawaiian sovereignty activist.

His voice became famous outside Hawaii when his album Facing Future was released in 1993. His medley of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" was released on his albums Ka ʻAnoʻi and Facing Future. It was subsequently featured in several films, television programs, and television commercials.

Along with his ukulele playing and incorporation of other genres, such as jazz and reggae, Kamakawiwoʻole remains influential in Hawaiian music
