I’ve really fallen in love with the intro song to Moana – “Where You Are” has such a lovely rhythm and melody to it, so i really wanted to work out the letter notes 🙂
C-A-F ^C ^F ^C ^F-^C
Moana, make way, make way!
^C-^C-^C ^D ^F ^D ^C
Moana, it’s time you knew
^C ^C-^C ^D ^F-^D^C ^D
The village of Motunui is
A ^C A-G
All you need!
^C ^C-^C ^D ^F-^D-^C
The dancers are practising
^C ^C-^C ^C ^D ^C-A F
They dance to an ancient song
A A G ^C A
Who needs a new song?
G F G A G F
This old one’s all we need!
^D ^D-^F-^G ^F ^F ^D-^C
This tradition is our mission
^C Bb-A-G A Bb ^C Bb A
And Moana, there’s so much to do
A A A ^C A-G F
Don’t trip on the taro root
G A ^C A-G
That’s all you need!
^C ^C ^D-^C-^C ^D ^F
We share everything we make
^C ^C ^C ^C ^C ^E ^F-^D
We joke and we weave our baskets
^C ^C-^C-^D ^C A F G A
The fishermen come back from the sea
C F-^C A
I wanna see…
D F G-A
Don’t walk away
A-A-A G A ^C A G
Moana, stay on the ground now
A A-A G A ^C A
Our people will need a chief
G A A A-G-F
And there you are….
D F G A
There comes a day
A A A-G A ^C-A
When you’re gonna look around
A A-A-G A-^C-A ^C
And realise happiness is
^F ^F ^F-^E-^F
Where you are…
^C-^C-^C ^D ^F-^D-^C
Consider the coconut
A-^C-^D ^C ^F
Consider its tree
^C ^C ^C ^C ^D ^C-A-F
Use each part of the coconut
G A ^C A-G
That’s all we need!
G A G A ^C A ^D-^C
We make our nets from the fibres
G A-A G A ^C-^C
The water is sweet inside
G A G A ^C A ^D-^C
We use the leaves to build fires
G A A G A G-F
We cook up the meat inside
^C-^C-^C ^D ^F-^D-^C
Consider the coconuts
A ^C ^D ^C ^F
The trunks and the leaves
^F ^F-^F ^F ^C ^C ^D ^C
The island gives us what we need
C F ^C A
And no one leaves…
F F G A
That’s right, we stay
A A A G A ^C-A-G
We’re safe and we’re well provided
F A G A A ^C A-^C
And when we look to the future
A A A-G-F
There you are….
D F G-A
You’ll be okay
G A G A A ^C A G
In time you’ll learn just as I did
F A G A-^C-A ^C
You must find happiness right
^F ^F ^F-^E-^F
Where you are…
^C A G A A G A-F
I like to dance with the water
A A-G-A A G A
The undertow and the waves
A A-G A A-G-F A
The water is mischievous, ha!
A A A A A-G-F
I like how it misbehaves
^D ^C-^C A A G A-G
The village may think I’m crazy
F A G D C ^C A
Or say that I drift too far
D F F C C ^C A
But once you know what you like
F C ^C A-G-F
Well there you are…
D F D F – G A – F
You are your father’s daughter
F – C – F G A
Stubbornness and pride
^D ^C Bb A A G-A-G
Mind what he says but remember
D F F F F ^C-A
You may hear a voice inside
C F C F F G A-^C
And if the voice starts to whisper
D F – F D F – A ^C
To follow the farthest star
D-F-C C C ^C-A G
Moana, that voice inside is
C ^C A-G-A
Who you are…
