Welcome, Gary. There isn't a lot of tablature for that tuning that I've found. I tried playing this song in open G tuning (bass to treble G B D G B D) and it lays out pretty well on the fretboard.
I play it in the key of C, but I've seen it in other keys.
http://www.huapala.org/B/Blue_Hawaiian_Moonlight.html has the words and a MIDI file to accompany you.
Here's a YouTube video of Cyril Pahinui with Peter Moon, Jr. performing this song slack key style.

Brad, thank you for the cool link. I could not find a midi of that tune.
Gary, "Blue Hawaiian Moonlight" is VERY similiar to the tune, "Have You Ever Been Lonely". I wonder which one came first?

| Gary, with all your previous musical experience I suggest you keep at trying to figure out Blue Hawaiian Moonlight by ear. You can do it! It's a simple tune with a straight forward melody and chord changes. This kind of ear training is invaluable for any musician on any instrument |

Gary: if you're seriously getting into Hawaiian music you'll find C6 or E6 tuning better than G.
The first time you slide one of those rich chords up the fingerboard you'll be convinced.  |
