Hi all,

I want to find the guitar chords to the Maori waiata "Rona". I've
found the lyrics (below) and can remember roughly how it is sung.
Also, am I right in thinking there is only this one verse?

Grateful for any help...

Jeremy

Rona
--------
Takoto ana au ki te moenga hurihuri
Tu ake au, titiro ki te ata rau
Kei runga ra te marama e whiti ana
Tera a Rona, kei roto ra
Piri ki te taha
Piri ki te ngaio
Aue ra e Rona e, aue Rona e..

Translation
----------
I was lying on my bed twisting and turning
I got up and looked out at the moonlight.
The moon was shining down from above
and there was Rona in the moon clutching
her calabash and clinging to the ngaio tree.
Hard luck Rona.
