my sweet island muffin
C F C
hey butter rum
G C G
my sweet island muffin

to the islands you run

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]

hey butter rum
my sweet island muffin
C
hey butter rum

my sweet island muffin

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
