This is an E9th version of the Hawaiian tune 'Song Of The Islands' (aka "Na lei o Hawaii", lyrics by Charles E King).

I have a CD of old radio transcriptions of Bud Isaacs, and he plays this on one track. I have pretty much tried to copy his rendition note for note.

The clip was recorded in 2002, when I was just starting to play. As I didn't keep a copy of the backing track (me playing my Yamaha FG-500 with a BIAB drum beat) before I mixed the clip down to mono, I can't easily update it, so it'll just have to do.
