And the bloke with the map was as pissed as an owl
Fm F E
And the boys called out "Maui you clown let it go"

In the noise he reached for his grandmothers jawbone

He winked at his mates and said "Boys, we don't know how lucky we are
E# D A
I have a feeling I have stumbled on something substantial"

We don't know how lucky we are
We don't know how lucky we are
