VERSE 1:
I was [G] down in a [C] hole, [G] snufflin' like a [C] mole
When my [G] friend on the [C] phone told me [G] it's O-[C]-Kay [G][C]
There's a [G] place you can [C] be, the [G] music sets you [C] free
Come on [G] over and we'll [C] do it the Ha-[G]-wana [C] way [G][C]

CHORUS:
If your [G] mind is a [C] mess, your [G] body's in dis-[C]-tress
Catch your [G] sorry soul a [C] rest the Ha-[G]-wana [C] way [G][C]
Throw your [G] future to the [C] wind, you'll [G] find it's no [C] sin
Start a [G] new way of [C] living the Ha-[G]-wana [C] way [G][C]
VERSE 2:
So I [G] did like she [C] said, threw my [G] suitcase on the [C] bed
Packed my [G] Rennies, Pepto-[C]-Bismol, Para-[G]-ceta-[C]-mol [G][C]
And I'm [G] feelin' no [C] pain on some [G] funky Russian [C] plane
Headin' [G] down the Carib-[C]-bean to for-[G]-get it [C] all [G][C]
