Intro:

Amadd9 	     | D6sus2/A
Fmaj7 Fmaj13 | Esus4 E

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

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
