| A | long | long time ago, | there was a volcano |
| F | C | G7 | ||
| living all alone, in the | middle | of the | sea. |
| C | G7 | ||
| He | sat high above his bay, | watch | ing all the couples play |
| F | C | G7 | ||
| and wishing that, | he | had someone | too. |
| C | G7 | ||
| And from his lava came this | song | of hope |
| F | ||
| that he sang out | loud | every day, |
| C | G7 | |
| for | years and | years |
