Eb  Edim Bb            Eb  Edim  Bb     
Somewhere   in Hawaii, I'm sen--ding a wire
C       Bb (Caug  Edim7) Fm    C   Fm      
To some-one wait--ing    there for me
(Gm Fm   Cm) Bb
 A--mong the flowers
(Ab  Gm     Bb7) Eb   Cm
 She counts the  hou--rs
Eb         D7                 G
She simply carried my heart a-way
D7    Bb  D7 G      D7    Bb
And I say in dreams ev'ry day:
Gm        Eb  Cm Eb
Beautiful Hu--lu
                    Bb7 Bb
Down in dreamy Hono-lu--lu
                     Bb7  Bb
I am feeling so pec--ul---iar
              Eb  B7
Since I first met you
Ab
In a moonlit garden fair
Gm
Cupid, he is warden there
Bb            F7             Bb
Just like the flowers you're true
                          Ab        Gm
Waiting and dreaming in a garden of roses
Eb   Cm   Eb                   Bb7  Bb
Some-time in the bright Hawaii sun--shine
                            Bb7 Bb
Dear, I'm going to make you all mine
            Eb   B7
And that is just why
Fm                        Eb    Cm   C        
Songbirds sing in tune to these words
            Fm                     
When I come back some day
      Gm
We'll fly away

Ha-waiian Butter-fly!

She an-----swered the wire I sent    to Hawaii
C       Bb (Caug  Edim7) Fm    C   Fm      
To some-one wait--ing    there for me

 And since she told me
(Ab Gm  Bb7) Eb    Cm
 I  can see  plain-ly
Eb         D7                 G
Soon I'll be telling you all goodbye
