[Verse 1]
Am
I'm blessed to be a local boy,
F
Growin' up in the countryside,
C
I learned to surf when I was two,
G
When uncle took me for a ride.
Am
And he gave me a lot of tough love,
F
Aloha spirit in god above,
C
I've got a life that I enjoy,
G
'Cause I'm a local boy.
[Chorus]
Am
'Cause I'm a local boy,
I live the island life,
F
Coconuts in the trees.
C
I'm a local boy,
With Mile and Davie and a
G
Cool, kamakani breeze.
Am
Aloha, surfed-up local style,
F
No matter where I roam,
C
These islands always bring me joy,
G
When I come back home, 'cause I'm a local boy.

[Verse 2]
Am
Born and raised on Mākaha Beach,
F
The ocean's in my blood.
C
A little pigeon in my speech,
G
I'm like the local bird.
Am
I like beautiful wahines,
F
Hangin' out in their bikinis,
C
At dinner time it's whiskey and port,
G
'Cause I'm a local boy.
