[Intro] C [Verse]
       F          Dm  Am
Let me tell you a tale that is often told

Dm                     C
In the great Celestial Hall

     Dm                 Am
All about an angel only four years old

Gm           C7       F
The littlest angel of all

        F            Dm  Am
How all day he would play with a little box

        Dm            C
That to others had no words

        Dm         Am               Bb      Dm
Oh, but there were treasures in this little box

    Gm           C7           F
The treasures he brought from Earth
[Chorus]
       Bb             Am
Just a butterfly with golden wings

Dm                  Am
A little piece of a hollow log

    F                   Bb
Two shiny stones from a river bank

        F        Dm           C        F
And the worn out strap of his faithful dog
[Interlude] Dm C F [Verse]
         F          Dm             Am
Then the angels all heard that the holy child

Dm                     C
Would be born in Bethlehem

         Dm                  Am
And they all brought presents for the holy child

Gm                  C7       F
And each gift was a heavenly gem

         F        Dm           Am
Then the littlest angel put his little box

Dm                         C
With the presents fine and rare

        Dm       Am         Bb       Dm
And the littlest angel sat alone and cried

Gm                  C7         F
For his gift was so meager and bare
[Chorus]
       Bb             Am
Just a butterfly with golden wings

Dm                  Am
A little piece of a hollow log

    F                   Bb
Two shiny stones from a river bank

        F        Dm           C        F
And the worn out strap of his faithful dog
[Interlude] F Dm Gbm Db [Verse]
        Gb             Ebm         Bbm
But the Lord chose the gift of the little box

         Ebm                    Db
That the child had blessed with love

       Ebm                  Bbm
And it started glowing that very night

     Db                Gb  Db
It became the star up above

         Gb       Ebm        Bbm
When you see that star as it shines on high

Ebm                    Db
In the great Celestial Hall

         Ebm      Db       B            Ebm
You will know the proudest angel in the sky

Db                       Gb
Is the littlest angel of all
[Chorus]
         B              Bbm
With his butterfly with golden wings

  Ebm               Bbm
A little piece of a hollow log

    Gb                  B
Two shiny stones from a river bank

        Gb        Ebm           Db     Gb
And the worn out strap of his faithful dog
