Butterfly by Danyel Gerard

Posted by Frank Rodrigues

A lovely easy song to play I first heard it in my youth and rediscovered it recently so here is my first tab dedicated to Wray.

There are a couple of versions of this song Gerard changed the lyrics from the original


        G           C             G  
You are bright as a night full of moon
G                  C            D7   
Butterfly you have left much to soon
         G              C             G
You have found you have wings and now you wish to fly
G                   C           D        G
Please don't go, oh please don't say good bye.
G                   Em        C                D7
Butterfly, my Butterfly now I know you must be free
G                       Em  C      D                 G
Butterfly, don't flutter by, stay a little while with me.
G                   C            G
In your mind there's someone far away
G                       C          D7
And you'll miss all the fun if you stay
G                C       G
You believe that love is elsewhere to be found
G                      C          D    G
But you're wrong, it's here, just look around.
G                  Em        C                D7
Butterfly, my Butterfly now I know you must be free
G                       Em   C      D                G   
Butterfly, don't flutter by, stay a little while with me.
G                C                 G
Look around, look around and you'll see
G                   C            D7
Better loved then by me you won't be
G              C        G
And if you fly away you break my heart in two
G                   C      D         G   
Please don't go  I'm so in love with you.
G                  Em        C                D7
Butterfly, my Butterfly now I know you must be free
G                        Em  C       D               G
Butterfly, don't flutter by, stay a little while with me.
G                  Em                         D7
Butterfly, my Butterfly now I know you must be free
G                       Em  C       D                G
Butterfly, don't flutter by, stay a little while with me.
G                  Em        C                 D7
Butterfly, my Butterfly now I know you must be free
G                        Em  C      D                G
Butterfly, don't flutter by, stay a little while with me.
