Community   saw the best in me 
  C#m                             
Exchanging the common heart  
                    E/G# F#/A#   E/B F#/A# E/G# F#/A# 
For the salt in the sea 
C#m             G#m  B    E          F# 
Children of the sun  on a highway of hope 
    C#m                    
The beauty of coming together 
   E/G# F#/A#   E/B F#/A# E/G# F#/A# 
In sor--row 
 
  C#m 
Tahiti we don't got no name 
  C#m 
Tahiti we don't got no home 
  C#m 
Tahiti we don't got no money 
  C#m 
Tahiti we don't got no, 
E/G# F#/A# 
Ho---ney 
     
    C#m       G#m B     E           F# 
But we do the di--shes, we make the bread 
 C#m 
 We are powdered ashes in the light of the beauty 
  E/G#   F#/A# 
He     said 
     C#m        G#m B      E       F# 
Wear those dark glasses to help us see 
    C#m 
Hot tears rolling down and our arms are knitted 
     E/G#  F#/A# 
All around you 
 
C#m              G#m   B    E          F#      
Creatures of the night on a highway of hope 
    C#m 
The beauty that we'll leave each other 
  E/G# F#/A#   E/B F#/A# E/G# F#/A# 
Tomor--row 
 
  C#m 
Tahiti we don't got no name 
  C#m 
Tahiti we don't got no home 
  C#m 
Tahiti we don't got no money 
  C#m 
Tahiti we don't got no, 
E  F# 
Ho-ney
