Would be great to know chords for these two nice classy songs. Guess I should prolly buy some songbook(s) containing them, but hey, I might ask here first.

Can you share the names of those songbooks please? And maybe where to buy them?
I can't find a thing.
It would be great if someone could give us some chords

The song by the the Brothers Four was a song that was widely recorded by such people as Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, and others. A nearly identical song is a Tahitian song, My Tane, where tane means man, apparently. I have not seen any chords for this song on the web, although it may be there. It is hard to search for simply because there are a number of other titles and phrases that Google mistakes for it. There is a style of playing in bands in Tahiti in which they favor the sixth, ninth, and seventh version of the chords. I don't know if that style is current of if it has died out, but it is distinctive and not Hawaiian. I first got familiar with that style of playing from a web page, http://tahitianukulele.blogspot.com/p/music.html My Tane is not on that page but anothr English song, We Three is. Good luck,
PS
I should add that you can find a couple of sheet music versions of Mr Tane, along with numerous records, on Ebay See http://www.ebay.com/itm/My-Tane-My-...922776?hash=item5b39a1b498:g:xpUAAOxyyF5RWCWI

You will find the song on page 76 if He Mele Aloha (a Hawaiian Song Book compiled by Carol Wilcox et al) in the key of F. Each verse consists of one short line (Bb F Bb F) and one longer line (C7 F C7 F C7 E)
