I want to go [G]back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Ha[A7]waii
I want to [D7]be with all the kanes and wahines
That I used to [G]know... so long ago

I can [B7]hear the old guitars a-playing [E7]
On the beach at Honaunau
I can [A7]hear the old Hawaiians saying
'Komo [D7]mai no kaua i ka hale welakahau'

It won't be [G]long till my ship will be sailing
Back to [A7]Kona
A [D7]grand old place
That's always fair to [B7]see... you're telling me

I'm [E7]just a little Hawaiian and a homesick island boy
I [A7]want to go back to my fish and poi

I want to go [G]back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Ha[A7]waii
Where the [D7]humu-humu nuku-nuku a pua'a
Go swimming [G]by

Where the [D7]humu-humu nuku-nuku a pua'a
Go swimming [G]by

Intro: A7(2) D7(2) G(4) - repeat

(CHORUS)
Oh we're [G]going to a hukilau,
A huki huki [E7]huki huki [D7]hukilau.
[D9]Everybody loves the hukilau,
Where the lau-lau is the [D7]kau-kau at the big [G]luau.
We [E7]throw our nets out into the sea,
And [A7]all the ama-ama come-a-[Cm6]swimmin' to me.
Oh, we're [G]going to a [E7]hukilau,
To a [D7]huki huki huki huki [G]lau. (ending: Am7 G)

(VERSE)
What a beautiful day for fishing,
That old Hawaiian [D7]way,
Where the hukilau nets are swishing,
Down in [A7]old La-i-e [D]Bay. [D7] (To CHORUS)
