Puff, the Magic Dragon

Chorus:
G                         Bm     C               G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
          C                       G                      A7                        D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

G                  Bm     C                        G
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
           C                                  G       Em          C      D7     G
and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.  Oh

Chorus, twice

G                                Bm            C                            G
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
C                    G                            A7                  D7
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
G                         Bm                 C                              G
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
C                             G             Em              C              D7        G
Pirate ships would lower their flag when Puff roared out his name.  Oh

Chorus

G                          Bm        C                 G
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
C                            G                        A7                 D7
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
G                           Bm                      C                    G  
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
         C                         G     Em    C             D7      G
And Puff that might dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

       G                         Bm       C                              G
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
C                      G                  A7                    D7
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
       G                         Bm     C                          G
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
       C                        G      Em      C      D7         G
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave.  Oh

Chorus, softly

Chorus, softly
