Tabs:
I'm not sure what you mean by hawiian chords but i know a bunch of jazz chords.

|Bb major 7 |C minor 7 |D7 |Eb minor/major 7 |
G|14---------|15--------|17------|19---------------||
D|12---------|13--------|16------|16---------------o|
A|13---------|15--------|17------|18---------------o|
E|-----------|----------|--------|-----------------||

Those shapes (like any scale/chord shape) are movable.
so any major 7 chord will have that shape. (same as the rest of them)

you can also voice those chords like this:

|Bb major 7 |C minor 7 |D7 |Eb minor/major 7 |
G|19---------|20--------|23------|23---------------||
D|19---------|20--------|22------|24---------------o|
A|-----------|----------|--------|-----------------o|
E|18---------|20--------|22------|23---------------||

again those shapes are also movable.

Those are just a few of many types of jazz chords.

A really common progression in jazz is what's called a - II,V,I

So if you're in the key of C major:

|D minor 7 (II) |G7 (V) |C major 7 (I) |C major 7 (I) |
G|17--------------|16--------------|16--------------|16--------------|
D|15--------------|15--------------|14--------------|14--------------|
A|17--------------|----------------|15--------------|15--------------|
E|----------------|15--------------|----------------|----------------|
|1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |

You can do this in any key.
Here's a II-V-I in G major:

|A minor 7 (II) |D7 (V) |G major 7 (I) |G major 7 (I) |
G|17--------------|17--------------|16--------------|16--------------|
D|17--------------|16--------------|16--------------|16--------------|
A|----------------|17--------------|----------------|----------------|
E|17--------------|----------------|15--------------|15--------------|
|1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |

Let me know if you have any other questions.
I went to school for jazz so I think i could help you out a lot in this subject.
Thanks doggy
