The butterfly sailed on the breeze

Fmaj7   Fmaj13	              Esus4    E
Past a field of barbed wire trees

Where golden dragons chased around

Pampered poppies on the ground

Two silver trout sat way on high

And watched a royal samurai

C               G             Am Fmaj7
Plant two black orchids in a box

And strap it to a laughing fox

A minstrel bought a crooked spoon

He gave it to a blue baboon

Am			      Dsus4   D   Dsus2
Who filled it full of virgin snow

     Fmaj7      G           Am
And watched it in the afterglow

The toad stoon in his ballet shoes

Teaching sixteen kangaroos

How to skip across a lake

They found it hard to stay awake

A pharaoh played a merry tune

C                G                 Am    Fmaj7
And watched nine cats dance on the moon

C          G             Am Fmaj7
I didn't know what all this meant

C	      G             Am   Fmaj7
I didn't know why I was sent.

Am			      Dsus4  D  Dsus2
I threw five clocks down on my bed

Am		        Dsus4   D   Dsus2
The chimes danced out on golden threads

Am			      Dsus4   D   Dsus2
And turned to footprints on my wall

     Fmaj7      G           Am
Sequined tears began to fall
