There is only a part A to this song. If you can learn this progression by heart you’ll have
C7 C7
all the chords in this song memorized.
Because this song sounds better muted... most of the chords are barre chords. Everyone
beginning hates barre chords... but you’ll learn that they can be your friends.
If you find the chords on top a bit too hard to move from one to the other... check out the
Soprano Options:
optional 2nd position chords I listed towards the bottom. To dampen the chords, it’s
best to have no open stings.
To get started follow these simple instructions. So I choose to use these
optional chord shapes.
Firstly be sure to... “Walk your chord path” - know how you are going to move from For Cm (0333),
Cm7
one chord to the other... find solutions to problem areas... plan how your fingers will move. I use (3333) Cm7

4. Strum each chord for 4 beats.... no mistakes?

For C7 (0001),

I use (3433) C7
3. Now strum each chord for 3 beats... no mistakes?
2. Again, strum each chord for 2 beats and if no mistakes... For Eb (3331),
Eb

I use (3336) Eb
1. When you can strum each chord for 1 beat each at a moderate (it’s easier)
tempo without mistakes, you’re ready to move through the song
with confidence.

Hawaiian Pronounciation simple tips.

13a
B
Visitors to Hawaii are commonly amazed at the long Hawaiian place names and long strings of vowels in
Hawaiian words. Names such as Kalanianaole Highway, a stretch of the Kamehameha Highway, and Aiea, a
community west of Honolulu, leave visitors at a loss to pronounce them. The pronunciation of such words,
however, is quite easy to figure out, since every vowel is pronounced. Just take your time, pronounce every
vowel as you go, and you’ve got it. Well.... almost.
It’s not quite as simple as that. A number of the vowels are pronounced differently than in English. But what
helps a little is the fact that each vowel is always pronounced the same way. There is no “o,” for example,
pronounced one way in a word like “come,” another way in “comrade,” and another way in “moon” as is the
case with the “o” in the English language. The prominent differences in pronunciation are roughly these:
a Pronounced “ah” and never “ay.” “Kamehameha,” for example, starts off “kah...,” not “Kam...”
as in the word “camera.”
e Pronounced “ay” as in the long “a” in the English language. “Kamehameha,” for example,
is roughly pronounced “kah may hah may hah.”
i Pronounced “ee” as in the long “e” in the English language. “Waikiki,” for example, is pronounced
“wah ee kee kee.” “Wah” and “ee” are slurred to sound like “wye.” Try it. Likewise, “kai,” as in
“Hawaii Kai,” is pronounced “kah ee.” When slurred, it sounds like “kye.”
o Pronounced “oh,” never differently.
u Pronounced “oo” as in “goo,” never differently.
So can you now pronounce the name of that community Aiea? “Aiea” is pronounced “ah ee ay ah.” Slur the first
two syllables and you’ve got it -- roughly “eye ay ah.” “Kapiolani” is pronounced “kah pee oh lah nee.” “Hale”
is pronounced “hah lay,” not like the English word “hail.”
Glottal stop or ʻokina

A modern Hawaiian name for the symbol (a letter) which represents the glottal stop is ʻokina (ʻoki ‘cut’ + -na ‘).
For examples of the ʻokina, consider the Hawaiian words Hawaiʻi and Oʻahu (often simply Hawaii and Oahu in
English orthography). In Hawaiian, these words can be pronounced [ha’ vi i] and [o’ ah hu], and can be written
with an ʻokina where the glottal stop is pronounced. (‘w’ is pronounced ‘ve’ in the word Hawai’i)
So with this in your pocket .... happy singing!

Practice part A first - that should be 3/4 of your song or more... by following these
simple instructions.
Firstly be sure to... “Walk your path” - know how you are going to move from one
chord to the other... find solutions to problem areas... plan how your fingers will move.
2. Again, strum each chord for 2 beats and if no mistakes...
1. When you can strum each chord for 1 beat each at a moderate tempo without
mistakes, you’re ready to move through the song with confidence.
Repeat the steps above for part B.
