Woodbox Gang – Butterfly (Guitar)

Band: Woodbox Gang Album: Born With A Tail VERSE 1

D         Bm     D         Bm
I've been a worm since I was born

     D  Bm            D        Bm
But I'll change before I die

G      A            G           A
Someday soon I'll come out of this cocoon

G              A   D       
And turn into a butterfly

VERSE 2 Grandpa drank mash and talked that trash Died in a coal mine blast Daddy smoked crack talked straight smack Got a cap popped in his ass VERSE 3 Daddy died and momma cried On the shoulders of other men I stayed home all alone Played with my imaginary friends BRIDGE

G                                                 
They're pretty good guys who like to get high

   D
It helped to stop the pain

G
One quick blast makes your heart beat so fast

       E                        A
You feel the blood boiling in your veins

VERSE 4 My buddy Vernon loved his bourbon And everything else that burned My girl Ophelia only drank tequila Her favorite part was the worm VERSE 5 We were playing by the tractor with an old firecracker And a can of gasoline There was one quick blast that burned all the grass Brightest thing that I had ever seen VERSE 6 I saw my grandpappy flying behind my daddy They picked me up where I fell down The field was burning Ophelia and Vernon Slithered back into the ground VERSE 7 Momma came running I tried to yell something But my mouth couldn't form the words She didn't see me up there so high in the air With all the butterflies and the birds
