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
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

Akebono, Musashimaru and Konishiki
