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
