Here are some links you may want to visit.
First one is for TROPICAL STORM HAWAII. Its an awesome website for
music sheets.
Here is the link for the Traditional Hawaiian music...

music as well as Jawaiian and Reggae music that hawaii musicians play.

may not be recorded or the composer has not published it.

Potentially valuable. I have used it once before and bookmarked it, but
forgot it.
Looked at it again, and was a bit disconcerted with the high frequency
of misspellings/typos. Can't trust it fully.

OK, here are a few of the things I based my comment on. This is
probably not where I should report them, but since the group tends to
get trafficless...
I checked my suspicions against _He Mele Hawai`i_ (HMH), which is itself
not 100% typo-free.
-Maunaloa
Ua hiki no 'oe a'e hele ana la,
a'e -> a e (HMH seems to have taken this as "and [will]")
Ko hinaka popopo la,
hinaka -> hainaka (I can't guess why the "i" is in there, but "hainaka"
is clearly closer to "hanky" than "hinaka" would be.)
(By the way, I can accept that kaha ko are generally not important.
One just matches syllables to the music. But not indicating that
the "ka" of "hainaka" is accented could be problematic to someone
trying to learn the song from this document.)
-Hololo Ka`a
Ka ua i ka holoholo ka'a
Ka ua -> Kaua (Or it looks like "the rain.")
Oni ana ka huila lawe a lilo
Oni -> `Oni (True, hard to tell the difference at the beginning
of a line.)
Na huahely a kau ana
-> huahelu
-He U`i
Haina mai ka puana
Haina -> Ha`ina (Most users won't need to be told.)
Haina he u`i o ka la
-> i ka la (At least that's what HMH has. I'm baffled how
they get "so apparent" out of that, but "[beauty] of the day/sun"
doesn't seem to make sense here either.)
O `oe no ka ua I aloha
-> `O `oe no ka`u i aloha (The He U`i page has a lot of "I"s that look
like "l"s for "i." Some word processor trying to be helpful.)
He pua e milimili e
-> i milimili ai (I'm not sure that "e milimili" is necessarily wrong
--might mean "that I *will* carress"?--but HMH has "that I have
carressed.")
I'll be using the site a lot. It is still *so* much more accurate than
my `ukulele leader's handouts.
Aloha,
