• Song:

    Puff The Magic Dragon Acoustic

  • Artist:

    Peter Paul and Mary

I've always loved this song, and so I decided to do my first full-song tab of it.  This 
how I play it, so I don't know how close it is to the original version, but it still 
great!  This song should be easy for anyone with a 4/4 strum pattern and some bar chord experience  Enjoy!

Here's the modified chords that I throw in for kicks:
G  (320033)
C* (x32013)

G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

    C                G      Em        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      A7       
  D7
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh


G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

    C                G      Em        A7             
  D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,

G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

    C                G      Em        A7             
  D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.


G                   Bm     C              G
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail

    C             G       Em         A7              D7
And Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail,

G               Bm            C                 G
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came,

C                  G           Em         A7         
        D7
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name. oh!


G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

    C                G      Em        A7             
  D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,

G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

    C                G      Em        A7             
  D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

  G            Bm          C             G
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys

C                 G     Em         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 A7                  D7
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.


    G                Bm      C                      G
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,

C              G       Em   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 A7               D7
So Puff that mighty dragon, he slipped into his cave. oh!


G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

    C                G      Em        A7             
  D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,

G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

    C                G      Em        A7          
   G     C*  G
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
