Oh tall is the tale of the mischievous one
G F E7 Am
Who fished out all the island and captured the sun

His deeds and tasks I will unmask so that you'll understand

C G Am E7
Slowed down his flight so kapa could dry yeah

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
