The butterfly sailed on the breeze

Fmaj7           Fmaj13      Esus4   E
Past a field of barbed wire trees

Asus2                        Dsus2
Where golden dragons chased around

Fmaj7                   Esus4  E
Pampered poppies on the ground

C          Em               Am     Fmaj7
Two silver trout sat way on high

C             Em         Am        Fmaj7
And watched a royal samurai

C               Em           Am    Fmaj7
Plant two black orchids in a box

C            Em            Am      Fmaj7
And strap it to a laughing fox

Am                          D
A minstrel bought a crooked spoon

Am                     D
He gave it to a blue baboon

Am                           D
Who filled it full of virgin snow

    Fmaj7    G          Asus2
And wandered in the afterglow

A toad stood in his ballet shoes

Fmaj7       Fmaj13    Esus4   E
Teaching sixteen kangaroos

Asus2                Dsus2
How to skip across a lake

They found it hard to stay awake

C         Em             Am       Fmaj7
A pharaoh played a merry tune

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

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

C        Em                Am     Fmaj7
I didn't know why I'd been sent
