Hawaii '78

Chords
pin

A               F          G       A
Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i
   A               F          G       A
Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i


   A
If just for a day our king and queen
      F
Would visit all these islands and saw everything
    G                                        A
How would they feel about the changes of our land


A
Could you just imagine if they were around
    F
And saw highways on their sacred grounds
    G                                      A
How would they feel about this modern city life

A
Tears would come from each others eyes
   F
As they would stop to realize
     G                                    A
That our people are in great great danger now
A               F                  G                       A
How, would they feel,  could their smiles be content, then cry


Chorus:
        A
        Cry for the gods, cry for the people
        F
        Cry for the land that was taken away
        G                          A
        And then yet you'll find,  Hawai'i


A
Could you just imagine they came back
F
And saw traffic lights and railroad tracks
G                                          A
How would they feel about this modern city life

A
Tears would come from each others eyes
F
As they would stop to realize
G                                      A
That our land is in great great danger now

A
All the fighting that the king had done
F
To conquer all these islands now these condominiums
G                                   A
How would he feel if he saw Hawai'i nei
A             F               G                       A
How, would he feel, would his smile be content,  then cry


Chorus

   A               F           G       A
Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina,  i ka pono, o Hawai'i
   A               F           G       A
Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina,  i ka pono, o Hawai'i

    good work, should just mention that you have to play each string individually instead of like a regular chord
