Woodbox Gang – Butterfly (Ukulele)

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

C         Am     C         Am
I've been a worm since I was born

     C  Am            C        Am
But I'll change before I die

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

F              G   C       
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

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

   C
It helped to stop the pain

F
One quick blast makes your heart beat so fast

       D                        G
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
