The song from the 2014 animated short film “Lava” is a lovely, simple tune about a volcano looking for love – very sweet 😛
Most of the song is really easy to play, with only a few high notes to look out for at the end. Enjoy 🙂

A long long time ago
B B B B-^C-B
There was a volcano
A – A A B-A
Living all alone
G G ^C-^C ^C G B
In the middle of the sea
^C ^C ^C A-^C ^D ^C
He sat high above his bay
B – B B A B-^C B
Watching all the couples play
A A – B A ^C ^C ^C – G B
And wishing that he had someone too
^C ^C ^C ^C-^D ^C
And from his lava came
B B B B B ^C B B A
This song of hope that he sang out loud
A – B A ^C ^C G B
Every day for years and years
A A A ^F
I have a dream
A G G G ^E
I hope will come true
^C ^D ^D ^D B
That you’re here with me
B ^C ^C ^D ^E
And I’m here with you
G A A A ^F
I wish that the earth
^F ^F ^G ^E ^E ^D-^C
Sea, and the sky up above
^C ^C ^C ^D – B B ^C-^C
Will send me someone to lava…
^C ^C ^C-^C ^C ^D-^C
Years of singing all alone
B B B-B B-^C B
Turned his lava into stone
B-A A B A G ^C
Until he was on the brink
^C ^C-G-B
Of extinction
^C ^C-^C ^C ^D ^C
But little did he know
B B-B B B B ^C-B
That living in the sea below
A-A-A A-B-A
Another volcano
G ^C-^C-^C ^C G B
Was listening to his song
^C-^C-^C A ^C ^D ^C
Everyday she heard his tune
B B-A B ^C B
Her lava grew and grew
A – A A B – A
Because she believed
^C ^C ^C ^C G B
His song was meant for her
^C ^C ^C ^C ^D-^C
Now she was so ready
^C B B B – B ^C B
To meet him above the sea
B B A A A B A
As he sang his song of hope
^C ^C G B
For the last time…
A A A ^F
I have a dream
A G G G ^E
I hope will come true
^C ^D ^D ^D B
That you’re here with me
B ^C ^C ^D ^E
And I’m here with you
G A A A ^F
I wish that the earth
^F ^F ^G ^E ^E ^D-^C
Sea, and the sky up above
^C ^C ^C ^D – B B ^C-^C
Will send me someone to lava…
^C-^C ^C ^C ^C ^D-^C
Rising from the sea below
B B B-B B-^C-B
Stood a lovely volcano
A – A A B – A
Looking all around
G ^C ^C ^C G B
But she could not see him
^C ^C ^C ^C ^C ^C ^D ^C
He tried to sing to let her know
^C B B B B ^C-B
That she was not there alone
B A A A-B
But with no lava
A ^C ^C G B
His song was all gone
^C ^C ^C ^C ^C ^D ^C
He filled the sea with his tears
B B B B-^C-B
Watched his dreams disappear
B A A – B – B
As she remembered
A A ^C ^C G B
What his song meant to her…
A A A ^F
I have a dream
A G G G ^E
I hope will come true
^C ^D ^D ^D B
That you’re here with me
B ^C ^C ^D ^E
And I’m here with you
G A A A ^F
I wish that the earth
^F ^F ^G ^E ^E ^D-^C
Sea, and the sky up above
^C ^C ^C ^D – B B ^C-^C
Will send me someone to lava…
^C ^C ^C ^C ^D-^C
Oh they were so happy
^C B-B B B – B ^C B
To finally meet above the sea
A G-A-B A A ^C-^C ^C G B
All together now their lava grew and grew
^C ^C-^C ^C ^C ^C ^D-^C
No longer are they all alone
^C ^C-B-B B B ^C B
With Aloha as their new home
A A G A-B A
And when you visit them
^C ^C ^C G B
This is what they sing…
A A A ^F
I have a dream
A G G G ^E
I hope will come true
^C ^D ^D ^D ^D ^C B
That you will grow old with me
^C ^C ^C ^C ^C ^D ^E
And I will grow old with you
A A A ^F
We thank the earth
^F ^F ^G ^E ^E ^D ^C
Sea, and the sky we thank too
^C ^D-B ^C
I lava you…
^C ^D-B ^D-^C
I lava you…
^C ^D-^G ^E
I lava you…
