Intro:
Amadd9 | D6sus2/A
Fmaj7 Fmaj13 | Esus4 Emaj
Amadd9 D6sus2/A
The butterfly sailed on the breeze
Fmaj7 Fmaj13 Esus4 E
Past a field of barbed wire trees
Amadd9 D6sus2/A
Where golden dragons chased around
Fmaj7 Fmaj13 Esus4 E
Pampered poppies on the ground
C G Am Fmaj7
Two silver trout sat way on high
C G Am Fmaj7
And watched a royal samurai
C G Am Fmaj7
Plant two black orchids in a box
C G Am Fmaj7
And strap it to a laughing fox
Am Dsus4 D Dsus2
A minstrel bought a crooked spoon
Am Dsus4 D Dsus2
He gave it to a blue baboon
Am Dsus4 D Dsus2
Who filled it full of virgin snow
Fmaj7 G Am
And watched it in the afterglow

Am| Dsus4 D Dsus2
Fmaj7| G| Am
Amadd9 D6sus2/A
The toad stoon in his ballet shoes
Fmaj7 Fmaj13 Esus4 E
Teaching sixteen kangaroos
Amadd9 D6sus2/A
How to skip across a lake
Fmaj7 Fmaj13 Esus4 E
They found it hard to stay awake
C G Am Fmaj7
A pharaoh played a merry tune
C G Am Fmaj7
And watched nine cats dance on the moon
C G Am Fmaj7
I didn't know what all this meant
C G Am Fmaj7
I didn't know why I was sent.
Am Dsus4 D Dsus2
I threw five clocks down on my bed
Am Dsus4 D Dsus2
The chimes danced out on golden threads
Am Dsus4 D Dsus2
And turned to footprints on my wall
Fmaj7 G Am
Sequined tears began to fall
Am| Dsus4 D Dsus2
