Intro: Am, G, Am, G
Am
Oh, told is the tale of the mischievous one
G F E7 Am
Who fished out all the islands and captured the sun
His deeds and tasks I will unmask so that you'll understand
G
That before there was a Clark Kent
F E7 Am
There was a Hawaiian Suppa Man
C G F
He fished out the islands with the magic hook
C G Am
There would have been more if somebody looked
C G F
In blue morning sky the sun he entwined
C G Am E7
To slow 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 Suppa Man
G F E7
Maui, Maui, Maui, Hawaiian Suppa Man
Am G F E7
Maui, Maui, Maui, Hawaiian Suppa 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 reignite
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
They found that 'Alae held the fire connection
C G Am
But his plan of deception fell short from perfection
C G F
With no other choice he had to get mean
C G Am E7
So he squeezed 'Alae's throat until she screamed the secret
(CHORUS)
