Low G Tuning Tenor Uke sounds best...
Am
Oh tall is the tale of the mischievous one
G F E7 Am
Who fished out all the island and captured the sun
Am
His deeds and tasks I will unmask so that you'll understand
G F E7 Am
That before there was a Clark Kent there was a Hawaiian Super Man
C G F
He fished out the islands with a magic hook
C G Am
There would have been more somebody looked
C G F
He pulled morning sky the sun he entwined
C G Am E7
Slowed down his flight so kapa could dry yeah
Chorus:
Am
Mischievous marvelous magical Maui Hero of this Land
G F E7 Am
The one the only the ultimate Hawaiian Super Man
Am G F E7
Maui Maui oh Maui the Hawaiian Supa Man
Am G F E7
Maui Maui oh Maui the Hawaiian Supa Man
Am
Secret of fire was locked somewhere in time
G F E7 Am
So when the ahi died in the hale kuke no way to be ignite
Am
So off he goes in search of those who hold the information
G F E7 Am
So fire could be used by all the future generations
C G F
He found that alae held the fire connection
C G Am
But his plan of deception fell short from perfection
C G F
Without a choice he had to get mean
C G Am E7
So he squeezed alae's throat until she screamed the secret
Chorus
