G          Am  Bm                Am 
Gentle Giants    from the countryside 
G       Am Bm                   Am 
Waimanalo,  Nanakuli,  and Waianae 
G                     Am  Bm            Am 
They are the champions,    in a foreign land 
G            Am  Bm               Am 
National heroes,  famous idols in Japan 


        G                   Am             Bm             Am 
        Akebono,  Musashimaru and Konishiki 
        G                    Am             Bm             Am 
        Akebono,  Musashimaru and Konishiki  


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


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

Chorus: 
G                     Am Bm                     Am 
These are the champions,  they are Hawai`i sumotori 
G                  Am              Bm                 Am 
Akebono, Musashimaru and Konishiki 

(Repeat) 


G             Am Bm               Am 
National heroes,  famous idols in Japan 
G              Am            Bm         Am 
Akebono, Musashimaru and Konishiki 

Chorus: 
G                      Am           Bm           Am
