It's not a perfect lyric in English, so here's a Māori version. Also, remember the pauses; it's not entirely in 12/8. There's a rest beat in the A-section, so it's also in 15/8. Intro - 1. Dsus2/F#, Dm/F, E              2.  Dsus2/F#, F, E ROSE (15/8) D/F# Asus2/G# Te taipū o te wā E5 F#m/C# e rangi D/F# Asus2/G#

Tūāporo E5 F#m/C# mauri ai

D/F# E (12/8)

Te hotahota o te wā F#m/C# G

Hine, hine Amaj7/G#

Taringa!

(C#, F#, G, B) D

Tātou tātou nonoke (G#, A, D) Amaj7(#11)/G#

Nonoke pōteretere


D/F# Asus2/G# (15/8) Te taipū o te wā E5 F#m/C#  kēhua D/F# Asus2/G#

Utu take D E5 kinonga

D/F# E (12/8)

Te whenua o te wā

F#m/C# G

Hine, hine Emaj7 (#11)/G# Wiwini!

(C#, F#, G, B) D

Tāku te whakarawe (G#, A, D)  Asus2  

Nekeneke te Emaj7/G# āhuarangi


D/F# Asus2/G# Te taipū o te wā E5 F#m/C#  e mauri D/F# Asus2/G#

Tūāporo E5 F#m7 rangi ai - Yes, I wrote it myself, using the methods from my class. If it sucks, that's why.
