Papa E - HAPA
This is a song originally played by the polynesian band Te Vaka, but I'm
using the HAPA
of it. The chord structure is pretty simple and is the same throughout the
whole song. I
a little bit of info on how to pronounce some of the words at the bottom as

Hihiki mai i faifaiga o te fenua
E he puli au ite olaga masani
He mafai fakapuli ite loto

Chorus
Aue aue papa e / Aue papa e
Aue aue papa e / I te nuku o papa e
Oku mokomokoga ke toe fanatu
I mea na e masani ai
Ko kata lava e mua mai
Te kata o papa e
Aue i te nuku o papa e
