SOL OPI

Composed by Ricky

Intro: (D)-(Dmaj7)-(D)-(Dmaj7)

Sol (D)Opi was a (Dmaj7)young Hawaiian (D)singer, (Dmaj7)
(G)Playing his Ha(Gm)waiian steel gui(D)tar,
(Cdim)-(Em)Singing in those clubs in Cali(A7)fornia,
For the (G#dim)people drinking in the (A)bars

Sol (D)Opi had a (Dmaj7)wife at home, so (D)lonely,
(Dmaj7)She was (G)sick from drinking, (Gm)oh, she was so (D)thin,
(Cdim)Till she (Em)found the happiness she was a (A7)missing,
When she (G#dim)humbly asked her Saviour (A)in

Chorus:
And as she (G)walked home in the (A)rain,
Her (F#m)life completely (Bm)changed,
She was (G)everything she dreamed to be,
(A)Finally feeling heavenly,
(G)Free from all the past she left be(A)hind,
Ooo(D)-(Dmaj7)oh, oo(D)-(Dmaj7)oh

(D)Sol Opi saw his (Dmaj7)wife, completely (D)different,
(Dmaj7)She wasn't (G)drinking or (Gm)smoking any(D)more,
(Cdim)More (Em)radiant and beautiful than ever,
(A7)So much (G#dim)happier than be(A)fore

(D)He asked her what had (Dmaj7)happened and she (D)told him, (Dmaj7)
"He (G)changed me and He (Gm)wants to change you (D)too,"
(Cdim)So that (Em)night Sol Opi finally met his (A7)Saviour,
And he (G#dim)found the love he never (A)knew

Chorus:
And as he (G)walked home in the (A)rain,
His (F#m)life completely (Bm)changed,
He was (G)everything he dreamed to be,
(A)Finally feeling heavenly,
(G)Free from all the past he left be(A)hind,
(D)-(Dmaj7)-(D)-(Dmaj7)Ooo oh, ooo oh

(D)Sol Opi quit his (Dmaj7)job to play his (D)music,
And to (G)sing for his new (Gm)Saviour that he'd (D)found,
(Cdim)Oh, you (Em)should've seen his face as it was (A7)shining,
As he (G#dim)played in every church that was a(A)round

But, (D)sad to say, (Dmaj7)church people didn't (D)love him,
(Dmaj7)They (G)said his music (Gm)couldn't be a (D)part,
(Cdim)So a(Em)lone, Sol Opi lay a (A7)dying,
(G#dim)Dying of a broken (A)heart

And as he (G)kissed his wife good(A)bye,
He (F#m)said, "Now, don't you (Bm)cry,
I'll (G)meet you in the heavenlies,
We'll (A)finally be free,
(G)Free from all the past we left be(A)hind"

And as he (G)quietly passed a(A)way,
She could (F#m)hear her Saviour (Bm)say,
"He's (G)everything he dreamed to be,
(A)Singing in the heavenlies,
(G)Free from all the past he left be(A)hind"

Ooo oh, ooo oh
