        You are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
G5          Daug                D5                    C5          (*)
        You shine just like sun that rains on the winter snow
C5                      G5
        I just had to...tell you so
G5       Daug      D5                    C5                       (*)
        Your eyes sparkle as the stars, like the moon that glows
G5       Daug       D5                                 C5              (*)
        Your smile could light the world on fire...or did you know
G5       Daug                D5                C5         (*)
        Your mind's full of everything that I wanna know
C5                    G5
        I just had to let you know
C5                    G5
        I just had to tell you so
C5                            G5
        You're my butterfly...flyin' high
C5                    G5
        Flyin' high...fly, fly, fly...

        Twiddely bit:   (*)   Lenny does a bit of quick fingering here that
                        sounds right, but perhaps there's a better way of doing
                        it -- so please mail me if you figure it out. 

        Examples:
                        xSLy - x Slide to y
                        xPy  - x Pull off to y

      Notes:
                  The chords here in the tab bits are only the down
                  strums taken from the album "Mama said", but it'll
                  sound great any way you play it.
