              G     Em7 Am7     Edim      G   G/F# D7 
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing  to say,  
Cdim   G    G/F#  Edim    Am7           D7 
On a bright      Hawaiian Christmas Day,  
C         C/B     Am7     Am7/G   Cdim    D7 
That's the island greeting that we send to you  
 Am7      D9  Gdim  Am7  Cdim    G     D 
From the land where palm trees sway,  
 E7    Bm5-/7      Fdim         E7      Bm5-/7 Edim  Am7 
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright,  
    G      G/F#     Fdim    E7      D9   Edim D7 
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night,  
G        Em7 Am7 Edim    G    B7  E7 
Mele   Kalikimaka   is   Hawaii's   way  
    C   Am7     D9    D7/9 D6/9 G 
To say "Merry Christmas  to you."
