Lets Talk Dirty In Hawaiian by John Prine - Guitar Chords

<< Back to John Prine Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3

            This is my first tab, so please bear with me! Also, I should mention that I got all of 
the words from the previous tabber, so thanks to him/her for that.

The verses and chorus are played the same way. I like to start each with the following run:

e|---------|
B|---------|
G|---------|
D|---------|
A|---0-2-3-|
E|-3-------|

I also like to play the first strum of the F chord as follows:

e|------1----|
B|------1----|
G|----2------|
D|-----------|
A|--3--------|
E|-----------|

The G7 chord is:

e|-1-|
B|-0-|
G|-0-|
D|-0-|
A|-2-|
E|-3-|

Hope you enjoy!


[Verse]
          C
Well, I packed my bags and bought myself a ticket
                               G7
For the land of the tall palm tree
                               C
Aloha Old Milwaukee, Hello Waikiki

I just stepped down from the airplane
                            F
When I thought I heard her say
                       C
Waka waka nuka nuka, waka waka nuka nuka
   C       G7     C
Would you like a lei?

[Chorus]
C
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
              G
Whisper in my ear
G7
Kicka poo ka maka wa wah wahini
                        C
Are the words I long to hear

Lay your coconut on my tiki
                           F
What the hecka mooka mooka dear
                      C     A7
Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
        D7      G7      C
Say the words I long to hear


It's a ukelele Honolulu sunset
Listen to the grass skirts sway
Drinking rum from a pineapple
Out on Honolulu Bay
The steel guitars all playing
While she's talking with her hands
Gimme gimme oka doka make a wish and wanta polka
Words I understand

(Chorus)

I boughta lota junka with my moola
And sent it to the folks back home
I never had the chance to dance the hula
Well I guess I should have known
When you start talking to the sweet wahini
Walking in the pale moonlight
Oka noka what a setta knocka rocka sis boom bocas
Hope I said it right
