Catch Another Butterfly by John Denver
Catch Another Butterfly
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Bb
Capo:3rd fret
[Verse 1]
G G/F# G/E D7 G
Do you remember days not so very long ago
Em Am D7
When the world was run by people twice your size?
G C
And the days were full of laughter
D G
And the nights were full of stars
Am D G
And when you grew tired you could close your eyes
[Verse 2]
G G/F# G/E
Yes, the stars were there for wishing
D7 G
And the wind was there for kites
Em Am D7
And the morning sun was there for "rise and shine"
G C D G
And even if the sniffles kept you home from school in bed
Am D G
You couldn't hardly stay there after nine
[Chorus]
Am D7 G Em
And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded
Am D7 A7 D7
What happened to the robin's song that sparkled in the sky
G G7 C G
Where's all the water gone that tumbled down a stream?
Am D7 G
Will I ever catch another butterfly?
[Verse 3]
G G/F# G/E D7 G
Do you remember camp-outs right in your own back yard
Em Am D7
And wonderin' how aeroplanes could fly?
G C D G
And the hours spent just playin' with a funny rock you found
Am D G
With crystal specks as blue as all the sky
[Chorus]
Am D7 G Em
And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded
Am D7 A7 D7
What happened to the robin's song that sparkled in the sky?
G G7 C G
Where's all the water gone that tumbled down a stream?
Am D7 G
Will I ever catch another butterfly?
[Verse 4]
G G/F# G/E D7 G
Now I watch my son, he's playin' with his toys
Em Am D7
He's happy and I give him all I can
G C D G
But I can't help feelin' just a little tingly inside
Am D G
When I hear him say he wants to be a man
[Chorus]
Am D7 G Em
And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded
Am D7 A7 D7
What happened to the robin's song that sparkled in the sky?
G G7 C G
Where's all the water gone that tumbled down a stream?
Am D7 G
Will I ever catch another butterfly?
Am D7 G D G
Will I ever catch another butterfly?
