G5          A5  B5                A5 
Gentle Giants    from the countryside 
G5       A5 B5                   A5 
Waimanalo,  Nanakuli,  and Waianae 
G5                     A5  B5            A5 
They are the champions,    in a foreign land 
G5            A5  B5               A5 
National heroes,  famous idols in Japan 


        G5                   A5             B5             A5 
        Akebono,  Musashimaru and Konishiki 
        G5                    A5             B5             A5

G5                  A5  B5                A5 
They have travelled,    thousand miles away 
G5             A5  B5               A5  
Sometimes lonely,  far away from family 
G5               A5 B5                          A5 
All have conquered,   a dream that seemed impossible 
G5          A5  B5                     A5 
With dignity,    they are Hawai`i sumotori 


G5               A5 B5                A5 
They made history,  heard around the world 
G5          A5 B5                  A5 
On the radio,  television and magazine 
G5                 A5 B5                       A5 
Let`s go celebrate,    and honor these mighty ones 
G5                     A5 B5                             A5 
These are the champions,  heroes for the young and the old  

Chorus: 
G5                     A5 B5                     A5 
These are the champions,  they are Hawai`i sumotori 
G5                  A5              B5                 A5 
Akebono, Musashimaru and Konishiki

Akebono, Musashimaru and Konishiki
