I felt like I was in Hawaii or some other exotic location just listening to this song. The steel drums and the simple beat made this song so great to listen to. The energy in his vocals, the slight swing in the guitars and the witty lyrics made the song so enjoyable.

B                   E
I heard Davey Crockett had a pint in his pocket, 
F#            B
Good whiskey at the Alamo
B                         E
Now that Pancho Villia had a jug of Tequila 
F#                        B
When he walked the streets of old Mexico
Abm                                 Ebm
While Blackbeard was fleecing around the hurricane season,
E                    F#
He didn't quit because of a girl
E                   F#                     B
Yeah, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world

While Russia was brawling, I bet that Old Stalin was
F#                     B
Calling for a vodka martini
B
While the world waited in fear,
E                         F#                            B
Old Hitler drank beer from a stein, eating sauerkraut and weenies
Abm                            Ebm
Yeah, down through the ages, as they turned into pages
E                                F#
They couldn't drink their diamonds and pearls
E                 F#                    B
No, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world
[INSTRUMENTAL] B
[BRIDGE]
E
I ain't getting much done but 
E                  F#
I'm having fun sailing on the deep blue sea
E
My whole body goes numb from a bottle of dark rum 
F#
And the sun sinking down on me
Abm                  Ebm
My catch of the day is a tall Cuba Libra
E                        F#
Chasin down with a 12 oz curl

Yeah, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world
