[Verse 1]
[Am]Sang[C] a lullaby[Em][Dsus4]
to a butter[Dm]fly[F]
Child's [Dm]wide brown eyes,
[Dsus4]secrets ins[Dm]ide
[C]She sai[Em]d, "When I d[Am]ie,
[Dm]become a but[F]terfly
[Gsus4]You can f[Dm]lutter and color
in meadows [C]and hills
[Am]Beauty gave me the [Dsus4]chills
[Dm]Flying on your [Am]own,
[F]then a thousan[Gsus4]d mourn[Dm][Dsus4][Dm][C]
[Am]Thousand souls swarm[Dm]ing,
thousands were [F]performing"
[Am][F][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Bright white,
emerald [Dm]green[Am]
Silk blown, sailing seas
And the spotted wings
[Dm]Go, [Am]go blow in the wind[Dsus4][Dm]
[Am]Bright white,

[Verse 3]
emerald [Dm]green[Am]
Silk blown, sailing seas
And the spotted [Dm]wing
[Am]Go, go blow [Dm]in the w[Am]ind
Go, go, [Dm]go, [Am]go bl[F]ow [Am]in t[Dm]he
[F]wind[G]

[Dm]In their old house,

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
from a lover's [F]mouth
He kept feathered [Dm]in
behind the bamboo [Am]screen
She said, "When [Dm]he died,
became [F]a butterfly
[G]He was [Dm]fluttering,
colouring meadows and [Am]hill[C] s[Am]
[Dm]Beauty gave us the chills
Flying on your [Am]own,
[F]then a thousand mou[Dm]rn[Dsus4][Dm][Am]
Thou[Dm]sand souls swarming,
thousands were perform[F]ing
Thousand souls [Gsus4]swarm ing[Dm],

[Verse 5]
thousands were performing"

Silk blown, sailing seas
And the spotted wing[Dm]s
[Am]Go, go blow in t[Dm]he wind
