    This 
    is the 
    story 
    of 
    a 

    Ma
    lahini, 
    which 
    means 

    newcomer 
    to 
    the 

    Hawaiian 

    Islands. 

    Well, this 

    Malahini, 
    or newcomer, 
    was so 
    im
    pressed by 
    their 
    beau
    ty, 

    he decided 
    to 
    write 
    a 
    song 
    using 
    all 
    the new 
    words 
    he had 
    learned 
    there. 

    And he 
    persuades 
    his 
    friend, 

    Alfred 

    Apaka, 
    to 
    sing 
    it. 

    Alfred? 

    As 
    I 
    strolled 
    along 
    the 
    shore, 
    in 
    the 
    moo 
    -moo 
    made 
    of 
    corn, 

    while 
    I 
    played 
    a 
    tune 
    on 
    my 

    sweet 
    old 
    coley 
    harp. 

    And 
    I 
    sang 
    a 
    pretty 
    song, 
    as 
    she 
    danced 
    her 
    sweet 
    ka
    poo, 

    with 
    a 
    wiki 
    -wiki 
    smile 
    and 
    a 

    Pretty 
    soon, 
    by 
    the 
    light 
    of 

    the 
    tropical 
    moon, 

    A mali

    On 
    the 
    beautiful 
    sand, 

    With 
    the 
    lovely 
    ilik 
    'i. 

    Then 
    he 
    softly 
    told 
    her 
    how 

    It 
    seemed 
    a 
    great 
    big 
    bad 
    luau, 

    With 
    the 
    red 
    old 
    pool 
    and 
    the 

    great 
    big 
    hooky

    As 
    I 
    strolled 
    along 
    the 
    shore 

    In 
    a 
    moo 
    -moo 
    made 
    of 
    coal 

    While 
    I 
    played 
    a 
    tune 
    on 
    my 
    sweet 
    ol' 

    Coley 
    howl 

    And 
    now 

    Patti 
    will 
    give 
    you 
    the translation 

    of 
    these 
    charm
    ing 

    Hawaiian 
    words 

    Thank 
    you, 

    Alfred 

    As 
    I 
    strolled 
    along 
    the 
    shore 

    In 
    a 
    dressy, 
    dressy 
    dress 
    made 
    of 
    wood 

    While 
    I 
    played 
    a 
    tune 
    on 
    my 
    sweet 

    ol' 
    champagne 
    glass 

    Catchy, 
    isn't 
    it? 

    And 
    I 
    sang 
    a 
    pretty 
    song 
    as 
    she 
    danced, 

    keep 
    off 
    the 
    grass 

    With 
    a 
    silly, 
    silly 
    smile 
    an
    d 
    a 
    dress 
    way 

    out 
    a 
    mile 
    behind 
    her

    Pretty 
    soon, 
    by 
    the 
    light 
    of 
    a 
    tropical 
    moon, 

    a 
    brawny 
    stranger 
    did 
    appear 

    As 
    we 
    strolled 
    hand 
    in 
    hand, 

    all 
    alone 
    on 
    the 
    sand 
    with 
    a 
    military 
    band 

    Then 
    he 
    softly 
    told 
    her 
    how 
    he'd 
    seen 
    them 
    barbecue 
    a 
    cow 

    with 
    the 
    sunburnt 
    tummy 
    an
    d 
    a 
    great 
    big 
    old 
    fish 
    catch. 

    Oh, 
    you 
    better 
    help 
    me 
    out, 

    Al. 

    The 
    smal
    lest 
    fish 
    with 
    the longest 
    name 
    were 

    swimming 
    along 
    an
    d singing 
    a 
    song. 

    All 
    the 
    boys 
    and 
    all

    you

    what 
    you 
    know, 

    Joe 

    As

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
