"Ka Nani A'o Ka'u", Sung By Ben Kaili chords
Start Jamming...
[F#m] [G#] His name is Uncle George [N] Nohobi.
[F#] [C#] And
[F] Uncle George [G] was the gentleman with Aunty Dottie [F#] Thompson [A] that started the Maramana
back [F#] in Hilo [C#] on April.
So this year Maramana starts ending of April, 24th to 30th I think it [F] is.
And [A] May 1st, May Day [N] is the next day.
But Uncle George wrote a song that talks about a district on the big island of Hawaii.
It's way down south [D#m] of Big Island.
[G#] It's after volcano, especially when you're coming [A] from Hilo side going over volcano.
[Cm] Anybody know where volcano is?
I mean, [C#m]
[F#] everybody know, okay.
[E] Everybody know [D#] where Kau is?
Everybody heard [C#] of Kau?
Anybody hear about Kau?
Okay, I know some of [F#] you know about Kau.
But [C#] Kau district
[B] is basically [Gm] a place down [Bm] south of the Big Island.
If you [F#] first go to the map and look up Big Island, it's the south end of the Big Island of Hawaii.
[C#] And in Kau, there's three places that the Hawaiians go to.
There's a place called Kaulana.
[G]
There's also another [Gm] place called [C#] Keaoli and Ahu Kauai.
[D] Now these three places [A] Uncle [G] George traveled as he was going to Osco.
And he [A] sang a song or he wrote a song that talks about the [D#] districts or the places that he went to
[A] down in Kau.
[D] And it goes something like this.
Maybe you first must have heard.
How about it?
The name of the song is called Kanani Ahu O Kau.
And it goes something like [Am] this.
