G             C  G
hey butter rum
                      C  G  F
my sweet island muffin
C             F  C
hey butter rum
                G     C  G
my sweet island muffin
       D
to the islands you run
    Em            C
and leave me with nothing
        G  C  D
but the rum


[Verse 1]

G                 C  G
in a foreign place
                       C  G
with an ice cold mojito
          C     F  C
there she stood
           G       C  G
my tropic hurricane
         F              D
with the tide so high
                G    F
I asked for her name
        C                F  C
I’m the island in the sun
                                  G     C  G
the style to which all the oceans run to
        Em   D          C
you can call me butter rum
   D                   G    D
but what would I call you


[Chorus]

G
hey butter rum
my sweet island muffin
C
hey butter rum
                G
my sweet island muffin
       D
to the islands you run
    Em            C
and leave me with nothing
         G   D
but the rum


[Verse 2]

G
wave on the rocks
tall dark and stormy
         C
here she crashed
                      G
and rolled back to the sea
      F               D
but a raging volcano
                         G
couldn’t keep that girl from me
        C
I’m the island in the sun
                                  G
the style to which all the oceans run to
        Em   D          C
you can call me butter rum
    D                 G   D
but what would I call you


[Chorus]

G
hey butter rum
my sweet island muffin
C
hey butter rum
my sweet island muffin
       D
to the islands you run
    Em            C
and leave me with nothing
        G   D
but the rum
